So once again we have to pay even more taxes but who for?
Here in the UK, we have just had another tax the decent hardworking citizen budget because of the slowing down of the economy but it now emerges that our dear hard working elected represented Members of Parliament have been feathering their nests up to the tune of £23,000 a year each on top of their fat salaries with those ever increasing taxes that our schools, hospitals, transport systems and public services are so desperately short of.
No wonder they look so well fed with dinner expenses of up to £250. That's why they always look for more ways to take our money while excluding themselves from hardships at our expense. They are only there for themselves and are lording it up with their subsidised lifestyle which we are all paying for. The question is, are we getting value for our money? Should they be allowed to claim up to £1000 for a bed or £750 for a TV or a stereo?
I don't care which political party you support and neither do they because it is clear that the House of Commons is a cosy little private club where their comforts outweigh our needs. We have been made fools of and taken for a ride by all of them because not a single MP has expressed outrage or displeasure at this state funded theft of our our taxes for their privileged lifestyle.
I wonder if any single MP or political party has the ounce of decency to amend this babying of some of the richest people in this country to steal from the ever poorer citizens and give to themselves when they were elected to look after our interests and not their own. I challenge any party or individual MP to take a stand for the people of the UK and say "this is an outrage, I will stop this gravy train starting today"
However I am not holding my breath, because their greed knows no boundaries and the only way we citizens will ever get proper representation is to refuse to vote until they see sense. Otherwise it is time for a new political party to start and have the welfare of our citizens as the #1 priority above the excesses of the cosy private MP's club.
Simply voting for David Cameron's Conservatives or the Liberal Democrats will change nothing because they has been knowledgeable of this yet has not said a word so far against it. Neither has any other leader or right dis-honourable member expressed horror at this excessive pandering of the privileged few at the expense of the many. Never in the history of this country has so much been ripped off by so few from so many.
Can anyone justify this because I cannot see how they can? What are we going to do about it? If this was France we would see 3 weeks of rioting with massive demonstrations but here in the UK we moan, sit on our backsides and do nothing! We are spineless as a nation unlike our European neighbours.
What is wrong with this country? What will stir people into doing something? Is there nothing that will make people say "enough is enough"? Let me have your ideas and soon, otherwise we will soon be buying them all top of the range limos and free palaces while they clamp down on every penny we should get to survive.
I am, an outraged citizen who loves this country but hates the way it is being run. Our brave service personal have to live in squalid accommodation while fighting for their country. They cannot even afford to buy a Big Mac on their expense allowance. Their widows are shabbily treated, thrown out of their homes when their men die.
Those that are badly injured are given the meagerest financial help because our MP's think that they are more important. What a selfish shower they all are. I wonder how they can sleep at night? I want any single MP who thinks we don't have a right to know exactly how much they are costing us to explain why that should be so.
I am waiting..........................
UPDATE: I understand that the expenses of all our MP's for the last 4 years is going to be published. Lets have a league table of shame to see who are the biggest thieves.
