kanny 20,618 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 I'm sure most of us have seen this story that MP'S are set to gain a extra £10,000 to cover the costs of working from home? All whilst everyone else is accepting a pay cut during these difficult times. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-52231592 Petition link http://chng.it/Xq4sb4rGWp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.357shooter 1,225 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 good is it not that our caring leaders are setting an example during these very difficult times when most normal folk like myself are getting feck all.the lot of them should be on basic sick pay at £94 a week.considering most are millionares i am sure then can get by for a few months unlike most people who can not pay their bills 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't waste your time with the petition. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only difference is the private sector pay it from their own pocket whereas the public sector is 100% on the taxpayers pocket. I'm curious to see what the total figure would amount to as the British taxpayer will be coughing up 100% for it the months/years to come. 17 hours ago, JDHUNTING said: Don't waste your time with the petition. Fair. We know from drawn out experience they don't work. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
