Printed in the WMN today Saturday 24th August a letter written by a correspondent from Ivybridge asks if there are any honest MP's any-more?
The fact that we now have a predominantly conservative controlled Parliament and both EDDC and most of the local East Devon Towns and Parish councils are all controlled by the same party members is this the reason why councillors act in the same way as our parliamentarians?
The secondary question that arises Is the skill to tell porkies bred into politicians or do they learn it? I'l bet mother has very little to do with it, probably the public schools system that is the kick starter usually the same one that dad and granddad attended, but that is mostly only the parliamentarians! So how do the local politicians get it unless it is by breeding?
Another letter printed in the same paper points out that MP's are eating heavily subsidised food in their canteens which he describes as eating food from the food banks. The Commons canteens (Bars and restaurants) being subsidised to the tune of £4.9 million whilst the eight Lords canteens lost £2.3 million last year. The correspondent ends up by writing ."It is clearly a do as I say, not not as we do scenario. The expenses scandal hasn't really gone away, they've just moved things around. can we trust any of them?
The judgement to yours!
