[Margaret Pilkington]

If you are saying that you would shoulder your way to the trough....drink deeply of the gravy....because that is what you CAN do in your privileged position.....rather than pretending that what you are doing is on behalf of us....good for us....then, yes....I think it is honest.
I would rather have honesty than fake concerns that mean nothing....that actually rob us of our integrity too(because we have been bamboozled, had the wool pulled over our eyes).
Fool me once - shame on you....fool me twice, then shame on me.
