If we did that, who would then run the country?

Perhaps some people who really care!!

I just had an idea, perhaps if politicians got paid the same as nurses and teaching support staff (ie less than £20,000 a year), then following the same vocational belief, perhaps we would get politicians who really want to make a difference, rather than idiots who just see a way to make money (yes I know the salary is not huge, although it is several times what I earn in education, but they get loads of extras from external companies).

Why can't somebody pay me £200,000 a year to be a director of their IT company. I promise I would tell all the students I deal with to buy the product. :unsure:

There are some answers there. Maybe we could start a Taxpayers party or a Neoparty to get things rolling.

Good God man they're lamps!

Laugh a lot but remember if the lights were installed by (others) and were not up to standard whose head are they going to fall on.

And bye the way think of all those miners who suffer from lung diseaseses because the employers could not give a S(**t) and were content to let people work in hazardous conditions

Now equate that to your current work place and still laugh

I agree with ANYONE who says that politicians= trouble, with one addition, also include religions.
