Nope, we're definitely all on the same boat, it's just that they're in the two story balcony suites, and we're in the bilges...

Trouble is, we can't see where the boat is heading from below the waterline

They can't see shit either, because their heads are firmly up their arses!!! 

Fixed

Ah yes here we go. Some smug twot (Tory mp Charles walker) on sky news;

I have never turned down a pay rise in my life and I'm not about to start now, I don't want my constituents to think I'm either a million air or a saint, I am human with faults, and I will accept the pay rise.

Are you worth 74k a year...?

That's for Ipsa to decide not us. He said.

Labour pm was dead against the rise as he didn't feel comfortable accepting while his constituents where eating out of food bags. Btw in interest of a balanced view.


I can't think of any walk of life where a pay rise is decided so far in advance. Without any relation to performance or achievement. Well they've seen themselves alright, that's for sure.

Where's me gun?

ESP as Tory boy sat there for the rest of the interview with the suggest grin, that god wider the more flabbergasted the response. Un opposing believable.


I'm almost outraged you know.

[Sir Tigger KC]

I'm almost outraged you know.

Go buy a copy of The Daily Mail! You know you want too!!!

I love the way all the ones denying it are forced to accept it, two face barsewards

Will he be redistributing this extra by way of charity donations then?

Yep, I didn't buy it either tbh.

At the end of the day I can't believe anything Labour say; their note to Osborne they left saying ''the money's all gone'' confirmed to me they're a bunch of piss-takers. At least the blues are trying to turn things around and have been very successful so far. imo

So, we need to pay our MPs more to attract a better calibre of person into political life. No arguments here about the current batch of wasters across all parties. Why are we just paying the current unfit-for-purpose losers more?

Shouldn't we just sack them all on the spot and have them re-apply for their jobs after upping the pay and the requirements?

I don't buy the comparisons with salaries between CEOs in industry and MPs either. The former are looking after thousands of employees in many cases, ensuring they all pull in the direction that's going to put bread on the table. The latter is like being on the committee of the local W.I. branch in comparison.

I heard they won't be getting anything like 11% as, like everyone else in the public sector, their pension contributions will rise....for no more actual pension.
