ReplyDeletePresumably it wont be a scandal if you get elected MP and are entitled to a gold plated pension?.
And yes, I know it's a different pot, but the principle is the same.
Indeed, that's why David Cameron has called for an end to the scheme so anyone elected for the first time at the next election won't be part of it. And he's right.
ReplyDeleteThat's the anny Finkelstein that himself ratted from the sdp to the Tories, I take it? Not sure he'd be on Shirley Williams'birthday card list somehow.
ReplyDeleteIain, I see that Kiwiblog claims to have a million page views a months. That seems unlikely. That is more than double your rate isn't it?
ReplyDeleteIt seems even more unlikely when you consider that his readers are mainly New Zealanders. So he has a potential core readership of 4,000,000 compared with your 60,000,000.
