Did I really see what I thought I saw on the news last night? With the future of the EU in crisis, the viability of the Euro currency teetering on the brink, jobs across Europe in jeopardy and the very foundations of our economic survival in ruins, did I really see our political leaders sitting down to a silver service multicourse dinner to resolve the crisis? How much did that cost us? The news clip saw a lackey ironing the huge table cloth in situ, on the table, then another setting the tablel with gods alone knows how many silver knives and forks for the multiple courses they were going to be served.
It really does smack of the "let then eat cake" attitude during the French revolution. Whilst our Government are gorging themselves, I, like many other hard working Britons, am struggling to pay the ASDA bill most months. Wouldn't it have been more fitting for them to have gone to a local pub, two eat for a tenner deal, to discuss the economic strife they have gotten us into?
They really do live in a different world. But them, have you heard any announcements about pay freezes or job loses for politicians? Have they volunteered to increase their (currently free) pension contributions?
No. I though not.
