Law Society in credit card shame

Corporate Blawg UK wishes to begin a campaign against the Law Society for bringing the profession into disrepute.  Yesterday Corporate Blawg received information about applying for a Law Society credit card (13.9% APR).  Slightly off theme, but what the f**k is the Law Society doing by issuing a credit card?

1. Is the Law Society a bank?  Not last time Corporate Blawg bought a pint there.
2. Is the Law Society a profit-making organisation?  The shop never seems to do very well, but no, essentially.
3. Should the Law Society profit from lawyers in financial difficulty?  Tricky one...
4. Does the Law Society get enough money from lawyers without providing any tangible benefits? Most definitely yes.

Let's try some other questions:

5. Do credit cards encourage personal debt? Yes.
6. Is personal debt depressing and miserable, leading to more debt?  That's what I've heard.
7. Would prospective bankruptcy make a lawyer more likely to commit a crime? Would have thought so.
8. Does the Law Society aim to uphold the reputation of the profession?  I think so - but it so often misses the mark, like now.

Corporate Blawg anticipates that the Law Society will soon open a debt recovery advisory bureau or some other cynical attempt at pretending to sit on the fence.  Whoever came up with this idiotic income-generating idea should ask the wizard for a brain.

          Is this overreacting? Corporate Blawg thinks he should leave the profession alone and go back to thinking about corporate law, which makes him happy.
