Paying pocket money wages will only get you schoolkids

WITH just 100 days to go until Britain leaves the EU, Members of Parliament, privileged members of the most famous legislature in the world, defenders of our liberty, draughtsmen of the laws that govern the Queen’s realm, were debating last week…

Whether the Leader of the Opposition called the Prime Minister a “stupid woman”. For the love of bloody f** k! Now, as regular readers may have guessed, I am no fan of Steptoe Corbyn.

He would be a disaster as PM and his wretched band of acolytes are a poison in the bloodstream of our politics.

But is a muttered- under- the- breath comment from a Neasden Polytechnic dropout the best subject for debate in the Mother of Parliaments?

From the way eager Tory MPs clustered around preposterous Speaker John Bercow, showing him social media “evidence” on their mobile phones, you would have thought the survival of the British nation hinged on the matter.

There can only be one explanation – these idiots know no better.

The House of Commons – once the seat of greats such as Cromwell, Disraeli, Gladstone, Churchill, Attlee and Thatcher – is now packed to the rafters with third division drones.

And there’s a very good reason for this.

MPs paid very well. OK, their £ 77,000 pay packet sounds a lot. But they live and work in London. That’s not far from the pay of a hotel manager in the capitol. are not

And these f** kers are running the country. They are making the laws which govern all our lives.

The expenses scandal and limits on what MPs can earn in the outside world have made the job of being a Member of Parliament far less attractive than it was.

Paying pocket money wages will only get you schoolkids.

The only people who will take the job are ideology- driven hacks, independently- wealthy toffs or people who are, frankly, not very bright.

Put also- rans like this into a glorious Gothic revival palace, give them ancient privileges and give them the power to boss people about and you’ve got a recipe for the kind of pantomime we saw on Wednesday last week.

These morons spent half the day jabbering about whether Jeremy Corbyn said “stupid woman” or “stupid people”.

And these are the same halfwits who say the people are too stupid to decide whether we want to be in the European Union or not. OOPS, I very nearly forgot… Happy Christmas, dear chums!
