MPs and meeja commentators keep going on about how the (flawed) expenses system has been introduced because the public would not have accepted an increase in MP's pay...
Nobody asks why the public would be upset if their MPs got a pay rise...
Clearly, if MPs were doing a great job, protecting the borders, fighting crime, generating jobs, etc. instead of persecuting motorists, meddling with the education system and NHS, and pandering to the whims of every single fucking minority group in the world the public would be delighted to give them a pay rise.
As it is this bunch of cheating, lying, incompetent clueless scum don't deserve their base salary and benefits!

I've yet to watch Question Time - I gather it was a bit raucous...?
