Perhaps he has a stepbrother he can start an international entertainment conglomerate with.

In fairness he had asked his folks if they could spot him £20,000 to hire a better one but they turned him down flat.

  1. He would have had to have been a damn good lawyer to win such a bullshit case, so he’d be entitled to nothing.
  2. If he lost, he’s proving that he’s a bad lawyer, so he’s proving his case. See 1.
  3. If he indeed was a good lawyer but the case has no merit, he’s proving he’s a bad lawyer because only a bad lawyer would think the case has merit. See 2.
  4. See 3.

As easy and fun as it is to mock a middle-aged stay-at-home lout, isn’t this the same principle behind alimony?

I say this not because everybody deserves to get a free ride from their parents for life, but leading on your child to think that you will always provide for them for 40 years and stopping without warning seems at least somewhat like a betrayal, and probably did as much harm as he did to himself. Shouldn’t there be a penalty for that?

Pish-posh. You’re thinking of yesterday’s America. In Great Again America, little things like the Constitution don’t hold us back; we’re tearing it up and throwing out the bits we don’t like.
