Who said they're meant to be more noble than us? Where is that written ........in the grand scheme of things they don't earn a fraction of those high up in industry/banking/finance etc. - that doeasn't excuse anything I know but .............if it's in their remit to claim expenses the ..........surely they will.

How are MP's nobler than the common man?

The thing that gets me is they get paid roughly £60,000 a BBC news reader gets £92,000 - that to me is just wrong!!!

I saw that interview where the MP asked what the news reader earned. I too was shocked. I didn't even know who she was!

that's what i thought - imagine what the ones who we actually know are earning - to me when you look at it like that MPs are grossly underpaid!!

There are millions more gp than MP's so why not get the message across to MP's by not voting next time they have a chance to, that would say far more than anything else to get the message across. Silence often says more than a thousand words. Will it happen? of course not, people are programmed and like sheep most of the time.
