OH DEAR. I write to express my sadness for all our almost destitute Members of Parliament, they so badly need their pay rise.
Imagine having to struggle and raise a family on £66,000 a year, plus expenses.
A lot pay their wives to do the secretarial work, sometimes they have to stay in London when they work late.
Yet when shown on television, only a handful are to be seen and some of those are having a crafty forty winks.
This must prove the only honest man to enter Parliament was Guy Fawkes.
Still, I must not grumble, I have my 2.7 per cent pension rise next spring to look forward to.
