GJ - The gap between rich and poor must close. Picking on MPs misses the point of higher wage earners with less responsibility.
not picking on anyone: committee recommendation, public office, regit question. So MPs underpaid for responsibilities?
GJ - Bigger issue than MPs pay. Gap between rich and poor needs tackling.
I agree on the gap. But what are your views, specifically, on the suggested 32% rise for MPs?
GJ - It was an anonymous survey. MPs pay irrelevant in the big scheme. Closing the gap between rich and poor is what matters.
Only interested in what you think of the suggested 32% (not your response to the survey) with public sector pay freeze etc.
GJ - MPs pay a false distraction from the wider pay gap issue.
Muppet!

all this crap about the pay gap to me is a none starter, it won't happen because people like Jones won't let it, they make too much money out of it for themselves, you only have to look at labour politicians who have been blurting this out for years, yet the likes of Brown and Blair are now making millions now out of office, good old Gordon, even though he's still drawing his 65K a year, hasn't set foot in the commons for a year, I wonder how our illustrious MP will answer that little poser
