This puts Alistair Darling's pleas to restrain pay rises in perspective. We are ruled by a self-serving, corrupt and greedy bureaucracy.

Did you see AD on Andrew Marr this am? Absolute rubbish interview. Darling just wittered on, repeating the same old prepared mantra and Marr did nothing to stop him. The few decent questions were fobbed off or sidestepped and Marr let him get away with it.
Very disappointing.

If this salary increase ends their right to claim expenses, for anything, then it would be worth it. However, this bunch are slippery and before we know it they will be claiming for the garden rockery on "benefits". Only if it is put in a legal contract that the entire MP's benefits package only consists of salary and a money purchase pension plan would this 40k payment be worth it. However, sadly nothing will be written down so the lazy, corrupt, incompetent MP's will just change the name of expenses to benefits and we will be back to the beginning again.

I actually think the Unions are rubbing their hands together waiting for this to happen.
It's just the excuse they need to justify striking and demanding more pay.
