The true difference in British class was revealed in today's media. Chris Huhne the multimillionaire MP who resigned as a cabinet minister before he stands trial for a motoring offence concerning driving penalty points he was alleged to have received has applied for the £17,000 tax free severance pay that ministers are entitled to when they are no longer a minister and returned to the backbenches. Was this money intended when they were down graded by the prime minister in a reshuffle of posts not when a minister resigns. Is this not an MP abusing the severance payment scheme? This is shear greed on the multimillionaire part. Then we have the ten refuse collectors in Cleethorpes who found £2,700 in £20 notes and handed it in to the police after months of fruitless investigation no body had come forward to claim the money so it was returned to the employees who found it. Now these refuse collectors have opted to take £150 each and give £600 to the charity Help for Heroes and £600 to Green Futures an environmental organisation based in Grimsby. At a time of great austerity for most working class people just goes to show the shear greed of people like Chris Huhne, and the charity and honesty of working class people over the rich and in his case greedy people. This is the true face of the British people. Is it any wonder that people are now loosing faith in the government and parliament in particular. If Chris Huhne is found guilty I hope that he receives at least a 3 year custodial sentence, then he will automatically loose his job as an MP or will we see some kind of rule change to protect the likes of him?
