Bag's Rants

Bet this went down well in Whitehall.

I've often wondered about how politicians can complain about Scottish MPs voting in England about something in England where it does not effect them. The arguments actually make sense to me why should they vote on something that does not effect them. Read more here. Yet, hypocritically they do the same thing to us on a regular basis. What a bunch of hypocrites.

Pensions is one such area. They have squandered our money on so many wasteful services but still have enough to ensure their pensions and salaries are covered. Our pensions and salaries on the other hand are legislated by these guys on a, almost, weekly basis. And to our detriment.

Now Lord Turner is proposing that they get the same pension rights as the rest of us. Read more here. Why are they not anyway? Why should these people get an elevated lifestyle just because they are politicians and civil servants? Are they not supposed to be working for us?

If this is acted on then I'm sure we will come across a compromise that will benefit us all. I bet there is a lot of resistance to this.
