We only think about ourselves first

After the debacle over MP's expenses now we have them having to pay back £230,000 in dodged tax, and again we come up with the usual excuses. Many have second jobs earning income on top of their parliamentary salaries of £65,738 for backbenchers and £134,565 for a minister. Some work as lawyer, or earn extra income from book deals, newspaper columns and TV appearances. This from members of parliament who are always complaining that they are tired from over work and are under paid. When the real reason for their alleged tiredness and over work is greed.Then we have the audacity of these people in parliament saying that people should stay at home and take their holidays in Britain. The government has spent £3 million on a campaign extolling the virtues of holidaying in Britain.Clegg is off to Spain for a week, before going to his property in France. Hammond is off to Spain, and Miliband is off to a Greek island for two weeks. Harriet Harman the shadow culture secretary is heading off to France missing most of the Olympic games. Cameron is spending a few days in Cornwall, before yes you've guessed it he's off to Europe with his family. These people are the epitamy of hypocrisy when they keep telling us that we are going through austere times, the vast majority of the public might be but our so called leaders are not practising what they are always preaching. Is it any wonder that the British public are getting more and more disillusioned with out political masters. Now we have Cameron shelving the Lords review prompted by the Liberal Democrats because a number of backbenchers said that they would not support the Liberal Democrats proposals for change, so Clegg says that the Liberal Democrats will not support the Conservatives proposals for boundary changes.  These from people who are supposed to be representing the people of this country, they are all acting like babies who are now taking their balls home. Is it any wonder that this once great country is now heading down the league of greatness. Perhaps we would do better if these members of parliament and ministers stayed away from the country permanently.
