| We’re all in this together, Chancellor “George Osbourne tells the nation as he announces massive employment cuts in the public sector.
Why, I would like to ask him if he believes we’re all in this together, has there been no cut to the ranks of our politicians?
I think George should examine the Register of MPs’ financial interests and see how many of his colleagues make thousands of pounds for themselves by doing other paid employment outwith the House of Commons.
How do they have time to do other jobs?
The Government should sack those MPs who seek outside employment and merge constituencies.
George also told us that the Government believes in fairness. What’s fair about English taxpayers paying for devolved government in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland and not having devolved government in England?
I say give the English devolved government, let members of an English Parliament sit in the House of Commons and deal with matters pertaining to England.
Then sack all those MPs who travel from Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland (at massive public expense) to the House of Commons. Their jobs can be done by those politicians already serving in those devolved parliaments.
On matters concerning the whole of the United Kingdom the devolved governments can meet via video- conferencing link.
That’s what I call fair and we’re all in this together, not rules for some and different rules for others. — Watcher.
