Animal Farm

Quelle surprise! MPs have voted to keep John Lewis and other retailers going during these difficult economic times by continuing to keep their hands in the public till to the tune of £24,006 per year. (Why the extra six quid?! Oh yeah, let’s really take the pi$$ and make it look like we calculated this extortionate amount scientifically…)

I realise that we all have to do our bit to stave off the credit crunch – which if one Labour MP is to be believed, is all in our heads and a figment of our collective imaginations – but how do we do that if our tax is squandered on 646 thieving barstewards who believe it is their right to be given free TV’s, iPods and dishwashers as a part of doing their job?

Why can’t MPs do what other travelling business professionals do and check into the local Holiday Inn or Marriott? Why do they need a separate flat or house to live in?

MPs say they want to be treated and paid like employees of private companies, so giving up their second home and plasma telly would be a good start. This could be followed up by performance-related pay and annual appraisals. Let’s see how many of the greedy, two-faced, lying gits stay in office after the first year. I volunteer to be HR director…
