Letter from The Independent this morning

[Pete]

Excellent letter - somethings got to change.

"The true colours of this “all in it together” Government are finally being exposed.

They impose a pay freeze on public-sector workers, insist on less-than-inflation pay rises for our valued health service staff, and threaten to take even those away.

They drive workers into  part-time and zero-hours contracts and claim this as a success in reducing unemployment. At the same time, they fail to address the issues of tax loopholes costing the Exchequer billions, and vote to keep their generous and unjustified expenses and above-inflation pay rises.

How can we respect our politicians when they  behave with such hypocrisy?  No wonder people are less satisfied with politicians than they are with loan sharks and estate agents.

We need a new political era, based on something other than self-interest."

At the risk of sounding like someone else (perhaps we ought to CC our posts elsewhere ) mps voted some years ago to put their pay in the hands of an independant body who set the level, they no longer vote on it themselves.
