Children On Stun - Tourniquets Of Loves Desire (CD)

I'm definitely not getting a pay rise this year, your probably not getting a pay rise this year... Indeed, should we be doing the whole humble 'just-glad-to-have-a-job' thing?

One thing's for sure: our MPs are getting a pay rise! And thoroughly deserved I am sure you all agree.

But just to be sure you know they aren't going hungry, we can have a look at last years MP expenses claims. With the average claim being £135k, on top of a salary of £63k, it is clearly a lucrative business. How many other jobs out there offer this extensive range of allowances plus a final salary pension scheme?

And yet they can't help but abuse it. The list of nepotism, dodgy claims and creative accounting, from both Labour and Conservative, is a long one and the support for reform, from all MPs, is universal- in a hollow kind of way.

When people put a cross next to a name on a piece of paper is this where they think it will end up? How many people do you know who actually know the name of their local MP? Not too tricky you would hope. But how many of those people will actually be aware enough of what their MP has, or has not, done to formulate an opinion? Fewer still. And of those, how many will have a good opinion?

Strangely we allow this system to persist and our parliamentary representatives, along with their assorted family members, business cronies and hangers-on, are still in charge. Democracy, ain't it a kick in the teeth?
