Mmmmmm. And to think what an outcry the right-wingers are constantly making about 'dole scroungers', the sickness benefit claimants, the Pensioners - and yet - just look who's really got their fingers deep in the public purse...
MPs get paid a wage well in excess of the national average - yet they feel compelled to claim for petty things like a TV license, their council taxes, their mortgages, cleaners, - yet they so begrudge people on benefits the barest minimum they need to survive...
er... so it turns out that it's our politicians who are the real evil grasping twunts - the whole lot of them. [Like that was ever a surprise.]
I stand by my assertion that all MPs should get nothing more than minimum wage to live on. If they really think that's enough for a person to live on... then they can too. No extras. If they need a suit to go to work in - or for a state function they should be given a voucher - like they used to give to poor families so their children could get a school uniform. If they did that made being a politician into a vocation rather than a career - we'd get a lot less shady characters in there messing things up.
