Pay Rise
 

Have the newspapers got it right?
"MPs given a pay rise of 15%":eek:
If they have then they certainly don't have a conscience - everyone else (almost), have frozen pay, minimal rises, or even effective reduction in pensions and reduction in benefits.
I wonder if our MP is going to accept his rise, or possibly donate it to charity,:rolleyes: and if there was a vote on this rise, how did he vote?:mad:

Re: Pay Rise
 

well they certainly deserve one, have just had £21 a week deducted from me Old age Pension............... Cos ive also got a work pension.:mad: Perhaps i'd have spent me life better as a dollop-er, they seem to get everything going.:mad:

Re: Pay Rise
 

Know just how you feel Cashy, I have private pensions as well. Just waiting to see if our MPs acolytes dare come on here and try to justify this:rolleyes::mad:

Pay Rise
 

Of course they will, if the price is right.

Re: Pay Rise
 

I can now honestly understand a lot more, how some can say sod it, i will stay on benefits.:mad: I never have agreed wi this action, but i can sure understand it now.

Re: Pay Rise
 

Barry, according to the MoS(washes mouth out) it may be a recommendation by the ISPA( in charge of MPs salaries and expenses) for £10000 which may be spread over 5 years. Even then it would 3% a year, more than most people are getting.

cashman, I'm puzzled why your work pension affects your OAP, I thought they were unconnected( I don't mean to pry, just seems strange).

Re: Pay Rise
 

I also thought they were unconnected Gordon, until i got a phone call last week.:mad: yeh aint the only beggar thats puzzled.:mad:

Re: Pay Rise
 

I know the trouble Joan had with her pension when she retired it was a bleeding nightmare, it took her 3 months to sort it out.

Re: Pay Rise
 

I've been paying in to a private pension for years, often skinting myself in the process. Didn't know they would knock it off your state pension. Makes you wonder if it's all worth it.

Re: Pay Rise
 

Its certainly made me wonder.:confused::mad:

Re: Pay Rise
 

cashy probably because you were contracted out of state earning related pension with
contributions going toward your works pension

Re: Pay Rise
 

they actually wanted a lot more than %15 but decided to try and not look greedy

i dont knwo why they need a payrise one of them i think it was ian duncan arsehole smith said people can live on about £52 wasnt it he said ?

just never forget its them on benefit with cancer ,parkinsons and many other disseases that are teh true leeching scum of this country

Re: Pay Rise
 

I still had to pay National Insurance, its stamps what contribute to yer pension.

Re: Pay Rise
 

I thought that site was only for illegal immigrants?

Re: Pay Rise
 

Perhaps the good folk of Hyndburn would like to nominate me to stand at the next General Election?
I have no policies, no intention of improving anyone's lot except my own, wouldn't be involved in expenses scandal because, I probably wouldn't even attend the big house.
The advantages?
1 less on benefits, I would still post on AccyWeb so you can curse your MP personally for doing nothing to improve any situation you have a grievance about, Oh! I might just protest about a £10,000 increase after all compared with what I exist on at the moment the wages they get could keep me in a far more comfortable manner than the one I am now used to.


We'll need a name for this party any suggestions? (keep in mind that, New Labour, Conservative & Liberal Democrats have already been taken).

I've found a Logo for the party:-

Re: Pay Rise
 

How about "The New Railway Party"?

:hehetable:thepint::thepint::thepint::bar:


We could then have a "Party in the Railway":thepint:

Re: Pay Rise
 

With Less as leader Mick:eek::eek::eek::D

Re: Pay Rise
 

Yep why not he will be able to afford to buy a round of drinks once a month then:D:thepint:

that's if he keeps his hearing aids turned up

Re: Pay Rise
 

Only once a month, what about the other 3 weeks Mick, still down to you:D

Re: Pay Rise
 

Good Heavens no...

I couldn't be leader, whom would I blame for my inaction's?

I need a proper leader for the party, a Chairman with plenty of backbone that can shrug off my complaints of towing the party line.

Someone with a long reach but plenty of distance from the scum erm I mean good folk I represent...

Eric, Oh, Eric, are you doing anything for the next few years?

Re: Pay Rise
 

All his constituent's will have to pay for the other weeks
That's why they would vote him in...to buy his beer not spend there benefits on silly things like bedroom tax or food or gas and electric

Re: Pay Rise
 

Now that would be a long distant left wing leader Less:D

Re: Pay Rise
 

So, I couldn't be bothered to contact my advisers and have therefore botched together an Election Policy.

1. I promise that I will do absolutely nothing in an open an honest manner before and during my elected period.

2. Well, there is no 2. I've already broken my promise in 1.
:mad:

Re: Pay Rise
 

Perfect;)

Re: Pay Rise
 

It's hard work doing this politicking, I think I'll have to go and meet a couple of my potential constituents down at the Party Office.

By the way, anyone willing to slip a little bit of cash under the table for the Party funds is welcome to call in. (The more you contribute the bigger the party will be).

Re: Pay Rise
 

Think you'll have to move the meeting to Mallard Towers Less:D

Re: Pay Rise

unless you are preppared to do that i dont se eyou having a future in politics especially if you want to be the hyndburn MP

Re: Pay Rise
 

Nice pic of me ... but who's the tory-blue icehole to my left:confused::D

Pay Rise
 

Perhaps that is open to as much speculation as any other Tory icehole?
Bound to be a prophet in there somewhere!

Re: Pay Rise
 

you can make 10grand a year less by simply taking an advisory role

10 grand for advising barmaids to wear low cut tops and never serve lager in a bitter glass cant be bad

Re: Pay Rise
 

I think we should pay whatever they want - otherwise all the best talent will go to Brussels and we'll be left with a load of numpties !

Re: Pay Rise
 

Whatever do you mean?

Europe is welcome to take the numpties, lets have some genuine workers for our Country.

Re: Pay Rise
 

"Best talent":eek::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:If yours are anything like ours, even the brightest light among them would starve to death, parked outside a whorehouse waiting for the red light to change.

Re: Pay Rise
 

Sarcasm obviously doesn't register here ?

Re: Pay Rise
 

Nor does 'back pedaling', I've seen your other posts.

:rofl38:

Re: Pay Rise
 

No need to be sarcastic:rolleyes:

And what you posted is not obviously "sarcasm". There again, even Swift, that master of satire, was shocked to find that many (mainly tories) took seriously his "Modest Proposal".

Re: Pay Rise
 

Well, earlier on this thread had the potential of being similar to the early AccyWeb, now fortunately we seem to have lost our humour and got back on track.

Re: Pay Rise
 

Next Time you see Roy, Less, can you ask him to reinstall the humour meter please:D
