Pay

Following on from the disgraceful decision of Welsh Assembly Members to take an 8.3% pay rise earlier this year, now we hear that some M.P.s at Westminster want a 21% pay rise - this is just obscene.

They say that they have fallen behind comparable jobs in the private sector - well so have the rest of us!

Librarianship is one of the worst paid professional jobs there is - I can just imagine the response if we asked these same politicians for a similar hike.

This just helps to confirm the suspicions of a growing number of people that all politicians are just in it to get rich quick and that none of them are worth voting for. They are asking the rest of us to show some restraint - so should they.
