Yes the Westminster gravy train is not stopping any time soon. There has been so much other bad and unholy Westminster stories lately that this one has more or less got overlooked by the media. It slipped in un-noticed under the 24 hour-news radar.
MPs have awarded themselves a nice pension rise but with the notion for more restraint next time around. Hmmmmm ! Bercow takes the biscuit, according to the feature he will retire with half of his lifetime salary as a pension and with other payments too it seems. Wincingly generous. The rest of us are just fodder for the ever grinding you down financial sector. We get nothing. A handful of Kopeks for the pigs in mire at the lower end of the trough.

Tax payers money is being abused by the greed of these people.
It is so so easy to impose the harsh cuts on Joe Public when`` their``life style and quality of life is untouched.
Joe Public must wake up to what is being dumped on them....................soon.
Its not just Corporate Greed it is rife within the people governing us.

I can hardly believe we have let the expenses hoohaa die down. Those people robbed us, all of us, and one of them (fat bloke, went to jail) was no sooner out of jail than he was suing this that and the other one. Lessons learned? I don't think so.

nothing has changed bern there have been so many loopholes exploited to keep m.p's incomes topped up.
none of them headline grabbing but good stealthy stuff.

it was a scandal, and there has been little change
so the general public trust even less all politiciansgo out to vote
thus less people
