The gravy train

MEPs to get pay rise 

 

Disgusted is a polite word to what I am thinking.
 

It has been reported that the new MEPs will get a 20% pay rise, so members who are elected to this gravy train will be £13k better off.

The new rules for these plutocrats will see those getting 7, ooo Euros a month exchange rate will mean they take home £76,360 a year, just think of all the perks they will pick up, and at the end of office a massive pension.

My MOD pension has had a massive rise of £2.50 a week, my old age tags behind that, just think the tax man will come down on me like a ton of bricks.

I do not have an accountant who knows the way to play this game.

 

How do we trust any body in politics to tell the truth or even work for us, no those days are gone, integrity, honesty they would not know if it hit them in the face?

Think how we were told about Iraq, then we find out no written papers, but never mind out troops can get killed, so others can swan around the world and tell others how to run their countries, sick making.

 

We now are being told about vile smears which have been sent by emails, this goes to show what a deplorable state this so called government has right from the start brought this country to its knees.

 

When will this country regain its creditability and trust of its people, to believe that we have statesmen who can deliver what is promised.

That ladies and gentlemen is the million dollar question
