MY heart leapt for joy when I read about some MPs refusing the 1.5 per cent pay increase on offer. Surely this must restore the country’s confidence in our poor, misunderstood “leaders”.
Can I suggest The Northern Echo starts a fund to help these unfortunate people? After all, what heroes, what stars, what... hypocrites.
They must think we came up the river in a poss tub if they think the British people can be bought so easily. I think they will have to try harder to win our votes in May.
