Bobbi.......I worked 100 hours a week and loved every minute of it.........but I was paid..............a pittance........but I was paid.
Would I have worked for nothing? Who pays the rent, the butcher, the baker, the electricity.........need I go on?
It´s just that people keep "banging on about the bankers, the Politicians, the Entrepreneurs.................it gets on yer t1ts after a while ;-)...

They are relaxing the rules as MP's are struggling on the low wage they get for their primary role to afford childcare and travelling expenses.
I wonder how the rest of the population cope with such expenses?
Feel free to try and defend the MP's if you wish, I am not saying they should work for nothing. However if they had to budget their income to the nearest pound like a lot of people maybe they would have a better understanding of how the country is coping in these wonderful times.
Do we need them all to travel to London to cast their vote when so much can be done via secure internet terminals, they have promised high speed broadband for all so they could work from home negating the requirement for travel and childcare expenses. It would also allow the public to be able to get hold of their local MP when they need them rather than the usual answer of them being away somewhere else sorting things out for someone else's constituency!

In addition to being elected as an MP, my mate, (Tony) also became a hobby-bobby in order to ensure that he had a more thorough understanding of both sides of the 'Police v Crime' situation..........whilst being a husband and father of 2 children.
Our politics differed greatly but I was then and always will be impressed by the dedication he brought to his time as an MP.
