Wake up call tomorrow for the minority of moaners.. Surely that should be the majority of moaners, or maybe ALL the moaners? Why pick on a minority of them?

Or Titanic and rename it BBS2

Simple solution, simple conclusion... let's get a 20 man working committee to discuss it over the next three years!

Was thinking the exact same thing... mind you there are some highly thought of barristers that become MPs and end up with Ministerial and Junior Ministerial roles in the MoJ and Home Office, which makes them very relevant, as are there very good MPs that are accountants and have similar jobs in...

I'm constantly rediscovering Inflammable Material - Stiff Little Fingers... true punk classic.

Also, do you know that most Permanent Secretaries of the Ministries, civil servants paid from the tax payers coffers, earn more than the Prime Minister? Edit: Grab a load of this lot... In full: the highest paid civil servants | Politics | guardian.co.uk

The 'etc.' kind of covered the 'other' jobs they do other than being constituent MPs and you've also just covered the fact that they probably should be paid more, which is what I have been saying all along.

I don't always know who we've got next, let alone any other team! Edit: Beaten to it above ^

A company has a board of directors, a management system and the underlings. Government, as has been mentioned is UK PLC and is run in a similar manner. Each MP has a part in the decision making of the country, from listening to their constituents concerns and feeding back the information, to...

No, what I mean is some people are not cut out to do it, they aren't great orators, they may not be the type of people that handle crowds well, they may not be good at paperwork (plenty of), they may even be a little promiscuous, can't take the pressure, there could be 101 reasons why, but they...

A lot of these people that are claimed to do a far better job and earn less are just not cut out for public life, it isn't everyone's cup of tea. Edit: Sorry only read the first sentence and posted... I don't want to be regulated thank you very much, if I can do what I do and earn a good days...

That is because the majority of politicians get on with their jobs quietly (in terms), serving their constituency and making the weekly journeys to London for Parliament business. But the majority of hard working MPs don't make good news in the tabloids.

Sparrow to Crawley

You can't stop private business paying the going rate plus a bit more to get the right people in. The pay a politician gets is poor and if you pay peanuts, you get monkeys.

Ah! Now you say that, I probably have seen him play, still don't remember him though!

I was talking purely money, not player, but I've heard of many Prem players, just not him and he's 20 and 32k allegedly, I just find that mind spinning.

Sadly I have little interest in our national team anymore, can't be doing with the cycle of heartache.

Well I don't really follow the Prem and at best he must be average? Sorry but 32k is obscene.

Well when you think some nobody of 20 at Arsenal called Carl Jenkinson is earning 32k a week (another thread) it does kind of show how little perspective there is in the world.

I've never even heard of him, 32k a week and 20? f*** sake, no wonder this world IS going mad!
