We all know about the greedy reckless bankers who got things in a big mess, and now want their bonuses! Well the media are revealing more and more about the political establishment here in the uk. Whether you are a member of parliament or a lord, it is all about grabbing as much money as you possibly can. This is institutionalised in the rules they work to, or should i say the carefully constructed system of loopholes they have created for themselves. The political parties are all a part of it and no one wants to or can change it. Its hard to believe that in the 21st century those scumbags are still getting away with it. While the recession bites, the public are getting very annoyed about it. If only the taxpayers could go on strike, or maybe we need a french-style revolution.

They really are beyond contempt the way they award themselves wage rises and pensions , after seeing the way british workers united against foreign workers at the l.o.r plant in kilingholme you never know ,maybe we might take a leaf out of the french book and stick it up some of them toady ponces in the goverment!!!!!!

The fact that we the "UK taxpayer" are not allowed to see where our MP's are spending every single penny we have is a shameful
The fact that most MP's in themseleves are a waste of space is bad enough.
But which system is better ?
They say power corrupts ....and I honest canlt see another system that really works anywhere in the world

Corruption does not appear to be all that bad in the UK, at least not in the minds of business leaders and British analysts. But if you judge a political system by its degree of (perception of) corruption, then apparently the Icelandic system is best (though Iceland has been hit hard by the credit crunch, so I suspect they will have relinquished the #1 spot by now).

To be honest in my view, corruption in the Uk is stealth where as in Pakistan, its more in your face
Iceland is bankrupt........ ; )
