Nothing, but nothing, surprises me anymore but to be perfectly honest, I'm bored now with the Press 'finding' every wee claim. We now know that a large part of them are thieving, lying scumbags. My blood pressure went sky high yesterday when I heard on the news that Kirkbride and her husband, both having to resign for outrageous fraud btw, are being awarded a Golden Handshake of over a hundred thousand as with all those departing fraudsters who are hanging on to the next election before leaving
Blueboy got it right in an earlier post when he said about someone stealing bread for his family ending up in the pokey. Our MPs end up with big fat cheques out of our pockets! Politics doesn't usually interest me much but this is scandalous. My husband, in industry, had to recently tell his employees they would have to take a temporary pay cut that was imposed on them by his American counterparts. He was unable to sleep at night - these are men with low wages, already teetering on the edge in these uncertain economic times. Yet the people we elected were bending their rubberised rules in an entirely dysfunctional Parliament. Something is rotten in the State and needs a complete purge.
Then, this week, I learned of a completely new and even more lucrative gravy train: the MEPs in the EU trough. £40million a DAY that's costing us. For the sake of my heart, I'm not even going to think about it . . .
