There would be no MP's left if they had to live on 'our' level of wages would there? They would bale out like rats leaving the sinking ship (something that is due to happen although it will be the tarmac outside Westminster, not water). C'mon you blues! Can't wait for David Cameron, or maybe even the shock of the century the BNP to take over. I suppose it's payback time really isn't it? Labour inherited a healthy bank balance from the Tories, and now the Tories will inherit a healthy bank balance from Labour LOL - Hmmmmn!!

Well, don't hold your breath. They may take a pay cut, but only if they're given added compensation in other areas such as a rise in the housing allowance, travel, etc.

Sorry to appear so skeptical, but I trust no one in government, ESPECIALLY politicians. Scumbags one and all.

Cheers,

Bob

I agree - it will be on paper but not a real wage cut - just like our tax cuts - given in one hand and taken (double) from the other! Do you know that Companies House have raised late filing penalties by about 3 times. Just at a time when people can't afford to have their accounts done and businesses are going bust. Oh yes and they have shortened the filing time by one month and haven't publicised it just to catch people out!

Stephanie, aren't they just the lowest scumbags of the low? Can you really believe that this 'sympathetic' Gordon Brown and his Government could do such a thing at a time, as you say, when we are all struggling. What a bunch of B.......S! We musn't let this one go without a fuss. How about a new thread Stephanie, from the point of view of the accountant?

Who are MP's Ron?....nearly every politican took an volunterr price cut and wage roll back to keep this state going for the next year here, it's no secret that they did it. But so far we are solvent..not unlike the stupid AIG people with the big "pay off's" in the trillions of dollars...giving themselves huge bonuses at teh taxpayer expense.  How much more greeder do they have to get before someone stops them short in their tracks is the question of the day.
