Nah, probably not. You know what the UK government’s like…(A while back I saw a news article about so called *secret* bonuses for MP’s and such forth).

Good for you!

Add up all those MP's bonuses each year and the project would have been completed in half the time...

(In my personal opinion there's too many great engineering and scientific marvels being condemned and lost to the clutches of time, and also in my opinion too many, errrrr, nah, I won't bother going down that road just yet...).

Yeah, it's great the way the MPs tag on a nice little pay rise into the back on almost every bill they pass...

I hate politicians... I rather like Douglas Adams description of the slimy reptiles..

If I may (Mr Adams take on politics):

"The lizards rule the people, and the people hate the lizards," we are told.

The hero asks why, if it's a democracy, and if the people really hate the lizards, they don't simply vote them out of office.

It's explained to him that the people believe that, if they don't vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard will get in.
