Yes all these cuts and fee increases are unpalatable, but just for a moment stop and think why they are needed.Two wars we had no need to get involved in, the Banking Act leading to the banking crisis, selling off of our gold reserves at $250 an ounce, PPF 'initiatives' costing the NHS and DES a fortune, immigration completely out of control, "Benefits Britain", I could go on...

This country is almost as profligate as Greece, but with no one to bale us out.The debt and the deficit have to be cleared off. If you want to blame the true culprits, blame those who got us into this mess in the first place.

But, I do agree a 10% pay rise when the rest of us are taking a haircut is one bitter pill too many. Perhaps we should be like the Belgians, do without MPs and just let the civil servants get on with running the country. That is, sort of, what the barons at Runnymede were complaining about as they were not getting their slice of the cake, well a smaller slice anyway, and a nascent civil service and legal system were taking over their functions.
