    I think that MPs should be paid the minimum wage. After all they keep trotting out the mantra that they are in politics for public duty, not self enrichment. (yeah riiight!) It might keep their feet on the ground when they pass all the stealth taxes they expect the rest of us to pay.

    Some gaol time for the worst miscreants would be a welcome thing as well.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.
