I looked for an image in my files to illustrate the MP s leading tax payers a fine old dance and this, though not entirely adequate, has the two themes, The Houses of Parliament and a dance within it.
The situation seems to me far more serious than the MPs themselves realise. You hear them say £65,000 per annum is an inadequate salary yet most folk I know would be delighted with half that figure.
In consequence of their salaries and allowances when £70 Billion goes on Trident or £18 Billion is spent on ID cards or £4 Billion is spent fighting in Iraq these people are oblivious to the costs since with their additional 'allowances ' they are insulated from reality. They don't care if people who have worked all their lives live on a £100 per week.
They don't care if HM Revenue fines us £100 for being a day late paying taxes.
Worse than their economic blunders and their greed is the lies they told [ or swallowed ] over the invasion of Iraq.
I think we could get more talented people at half the price and it is difficult to see how anybody could be worse. Please v let me have your views and anybody who has a better ilustration than mine please post it .
