Spot on And.... just like there are @rsehole MPs on the take, there are fat cat greedy risk taking bankers there are greedy john Terrys, there are thieving postal workers, there are jobsworth local council staff, there are couch sitting dole scrounging chavs......
there are decent people wanting to make a difference in running the country, there are good smart people using money wisely and making a few quid for themselves and more for their bank there are players like Danny mills doing fantastic charity work, there are decent people like Derry and Prutton who we would welcome back anytime, there are good honest posties, there are proactive local council staff keen to help there are genuine people who have fallen on hard times. I've had the pain and the privilege of meeting quite a few of them through work and its pretty much any office, 30 % are t...@ts, 30% are fantastic and the rest are sort of ok and are there without bothering you Matt -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Naef Sent: 11 February 2010 20:44 To: 'LEEDS LIST' Subject: Re: [LU] NON LU Do you begrudge them the legitimate expenses - which most often require them to live away from their family home and constituency - seems a bit harsh. These are the people we want to run the country for us! Paying them 50 times less than a bench warmer at Pompey seems a bit obtuse. In order to ensure anyone, other than nutters and rich bastards are able to do the job, lets pay them bigger salaries & a clearly defined expenses structure. Anyone who has watched "The Thick Of It" and doesn't feel sorry for Politicians must have a heart of stone. One Ball grabbed by the Spin Doctors, One by the Press Barons and a load of thankless moaning idiots as their constituents, most of whom can't even be bothered to turn off Radio 4, get off their arses and scribble a cross on a bit of paper every 1250 days! Still Democracy eh, the best of a bad bunch of ways of getting a few dozen million monkeys to share a few square miles of mud without killing each other (much). _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
