People also moan about the income of British MP’s. Maybe it’s all politicians. Not sure why the Kinnocks are leeches though when they just did a job and got paid. The issue for me is always that politicians should ensure the lowest paid get paid more rather than making implications the poorest are workshy.
I think it is all politicians and all parties. Look at how little difference there is between successive governments or senior MPs. It is like copy and paste for journalists just replacing the party name. I think one of the real problems is front bench MPs get hugely under paid. Imagine if we offered them a multi million pound salary with performance related pay. We might actually get some people capable of running a hugely complex organisation like a nation. Instead of the endless stream of folk highly underqualified. I saw Ed Milliband interviewed recently about taxation in energy companies and the impact it has on prices. It was terrifying to see how so little he understands. The interviewer looked genuinely perplexed and like he was having to explain things to a child. We have suffered awful MPs and leaders in Westminster for many many years now. They all seem to toodle off afterwards and make their money as speakers, or envoys, or who knows what else. Time for some genuine public debate about what we want from a govetnment I think. And I dont mean politicians talking about what they will do. They prove over and over again to be untrustworthy. I mean a public debate, led by those who really understand what is needed and what it will take. It wont be too long before it is too late.
Can I ask you 1 question please,? Do you agree with illegal immigrants coming to the UK and been given financial benefits, after not contributing anything, and just taking the P.
