RonJeremy Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 In the light of recent events. Are all MPs to be thought of as the lowest of the low and liars? I have tremendous respect for MPs of all colours, whether I agree with their policies or not. They put themselves in front of the public, for little financial gain. They seem to get little respect from the general (and ignorant) public. Quite wrongly in my opinion, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to get little respect from the general (and ignorant) public. Quite wrongly in my opinion, I don't think that £75k plus generous expense qualifies as "little financial gain". I also despair of the greasy pole climbers who won't give a straight answer to simple questions. The good MPs are well worth their pay. There are a good many, though, who are not.

So you're bothered about the money they earn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 So you're bothered about the money they earn? No. I'm bothered about them doing their job properly. Many of them put self-interest first. Had you read my post properly, you should have gleaned that. You are the one who introduced pay into the equation. I was just pointing out that £75k basic, is pretty good money.

It's the pay. Expenses are just that - expenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonJeremy Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 There you go again, obsessing about money. LOL. It was a small part of my post, to try to dispell the obsession some people have with MP's pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
