There's an oxymoron for you, "Politicians" and "Earning" in the same sentance, sigh...
It's bad enough that an MP's basic pay is around 70k a year, double that for a Minister, it's the "expenses" they get around 250k per year, to employ "staff" think sons, daughters, grandmothers {yea, really}, then they get free travel on BA plus loads of free First Class rail tickets and so on, then they pad that lot up with "second house expenses" and on it goes.
Now that's only "wages and expenses" oh, and don't forget that expenses are tax free, but they aren't even satisfied with that, they then get signed up as "Directors" of companies, money for nowt again, and like the Lords who took back handers to "advise" certain companies or SIG's the b*stards are wallowing in "free money".
To add insult to injury after 6 years the pricks can "retire" on a pension that most folks could only dream of...
Don't forget they afford themselves this lifestyle out of your pockets, makes you want to throw up don't it...
Canada Bob.
It certainly does. I don't know what makes me think politicians want to help people in Great Britain? So surely if they took a cut in wages etc this would help Britain??
