[quote=DCon;2095860]While every numpty (that is the Irish working people) has to work 40 odd years for their pension, they get millions for a decade or less of work. In fact they get multiple pensions some of them. Sick, sick, sick!

You have to remember they fiddle their expenses to show that they are not in profit, therefore not subject to benefit in kind. Corrupt or what.
While the rest of us in business are subject to tests and audits!!!

Cry now, then laugh when they're kicked out.

The Political Compass
Economic Left/Right: from -4.38 to -6.62
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: from -4.05 to -3.74

In the UK they used to use the old chestnut that politicians should get paid the equivalent of a high salary in the private sector in order to attract the right people (!)

Until it was pointed out that the average MP when deselected or defeated in an election does not get work for something like 10 months or 18 months- I can't quite recall.

On that note I had a chap trying to sell us one of the media monitoring software packages (a bit like Lexus Nexus although I am not identifying them as the company involved).

He looked a bit familiar and it turned out he was a former Tory MP who had been caught some years back asking questions in the House of Commons in return for money. He was booted out with another MP.

My point being that I caught him trying to tell my boss that I'd agreed to buy the package- luckily my boss asked me as she thought it strange I'd go ahead and buy without mentioning it.

I hadn't agreed to buy it all. The man was an unmitigated liar and he got bumped off the approved supplier list because of it.

I wouldn't mind but the package was probably the one I would have chosen. They can't help themselves sometimes, these political animals.

Donnie and Jackie should be tried for treason and if guilty 20 years in Mountjoy,make an example.
