MPs Are In Line For ?20,000 Pay Rise

[thered]

I have to agree with some of the points because maybe they're true anyway. However those that did 'fiddle' should have been charged with fraud, taken to court, and then to prison - see how they like the place themselves. If I 'fiddled' my expenses I know (and I'd expect) a knock on the door from Mr Plod very quickly - the police always react quickly to anything whereby it isn't a robbery, burglary or theft. Some of them did get taken to court and rightly so. They seem slow to react when it's public figures like MP's, funny that.

Yes you're probably right, all in all I do get more than a fair number of them, but that's not the point. I *don't* tell people we're in it together and then award myself a ?20k pay rise right in the middle of this f**ked up recession.

MP's told the usual half truths to get elected, with promises to sort the country out with the words "we're all in it together"... only they aren't. If that's not the definition of being a bigoted lying b****rd without an ounce of common decency I don't know what is.

if i got caught fiddling id be sacked at the very least they should be no different.

Politics has always been BS and always will be


Only votes get power and to win you need to please as many as possible, i dont think any government wants to cut spending or lose peoples jobs as its not the way to win votes ,but its unfortunate thats the situation we are in, the opposition oppose everything but have no plans on how to sort it

Were not in it together but to be fair to cameron his salary has been chopped and is far less than gordon browns when he was in power and under almost all other major pm's in other countries

his salary has been reduced by about 20% in the last few years, so maybe he can say that


boris johnson earns almost 3 times what the pm does, its crackers
