Stop Press!!!!!
Back in January Guido Fawkes reported this story : Hungry for taxes robbery .
Lets make a few things clear :
1: A backbench MP is on £66K a year without expenses ( Link) .
2: average wage in UK is 22-24K a year.
do you see what i see?
I see some cheeky buggers taken the micky out of us taxpayers, i asked my boss if he would subsidis my lunch and booze, the answer i got was not repeatable.
anyway this had slipped of my radar until today, and then Elizabeth Truss MP tweeted this :

The picture sums them up.
How apt......
Pigs do not draw wages or claim expenses. They do not make promises or tell lies. They live a simple life in muddy fields and sleep on straw in arks. They take good care of their piglets. They are intelligent animals, more so than some MPs -- though they have not yet worked out that we only feed them because we plan to eat them later.
ReplyDeleteI respect pigs. I do not respect MPs.
Somehow I think a hog like this is more to the point-- feral hogs can grow to be this size, and so can MP's. (Watson, Abbott, Pickles etc)
