An End to Austerity

Here's an unpopular thought, maybe we should start paying them decent money and we could get some decent politicians.

No, you would not.

No doubt my FaceBook wall will shortly be full of claptrap about "Tories give MPs 10% pay rise while nurses get 1%" from my left-wing friends, who conveniently forget the facts that most (it seems) MPs have been campaigning NOT to get this pay-rise.

And yet, despite their campaign, they still get it. Oh, the humanity!

No, you would not.

I am appalled at how little these people are paid considering how important their responsibilities are. all we seem to get are people who are used to low pay who want to impose it on everyone else.

To many of my friends, I am their right-wing friend.

Just the candidate for a suicide bomber

They were always going to get the rise so it costs them nothing to protest with a wry grin.
