Here in North Lincs, the local Labour-run council has just decided to table a motion to give councillors a pension out of our council tax.![Mad](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/mad.gif)
The Tories, in opposition, and one or two Lib-Dems and neutrals, voted against it.![Whatever Anim](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/Whatever_anim.gif)
It got passed, of course.![Mad](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/mad.gif)
NOW the Tories and etc who OPPOSED it have decided to accept the pension after all..........they say it would be rude and pointless not to![Mad](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/mad.gif)
Greedy hypocritical b@stards!

Politician and honest don't belong in the same sentence.
One of my local MP's gets a travel allowance; something like £2.50 a mile........................
......................... to ride a pushbike to his office a couple of miles away. All in all, not a massive amount of money, but it's the principle of it.

Is it any wonder the country is in decline morally and financially when you look at who is in charge.
Yes i know that there are some MPs who do the right thing and fight the good fight even so, perhaps they should be more vocal and bring this to the attention of the public so these morraly corrupt and not fit for purpose MP's and punlic servants can be outed and removed.
Laws need to be looked at, MPs and public servants need to be accountable and thier finances transparent for all to see.
I am really disgusted that this goes on, in business and the real world they would call it deception in a lot of cases.

I'd love to know what they actually do for their money. Our local MP is utterly useless ![Frown](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
And the Council is dreadful. I begrudge every single penny I pay to them
