It was in
the news that MPs will fight to retain their allowances for taxis, hotels and evening
meals. They will fight hard for this luxury as the easy money comes from the
pockets of taxpayers.
Besides
other allowances, MPs basic annual salary is £66,396 and is expected to rise
soon. Similarly members of the House of Lords don't pay tax on their daily
allowances.
This is the
one side of the story and other side is grim where old pensioners are afraid of
dying of cold. Price hike and
unemployment is upsetting for common people and damaging for economy. Expenses
are rising and employees are struggling and forced to live hand to mouth.
Recession is
effecting working people most and Fat Cats are getting fatter but slipping
through loopholes very easily.
I know some
employers in UK do the least what law expects them to do for the workers. They
will expect them to work on public holidays, unsocial hours and lone shifts and
all that on minimum wage. I know some people will expect their employees to
stand all through their shift and they will get away all sorts of such things
because this is not against the law.
Country is
full of hardworking people, they want to work but there are still lots of
people who think better off on benefit than work. Such alarming situation
requires some reforms at great scale.
Feeding Fat
Cats and neglecting common working people will only worsen the economic
situation. There is need to address the working people's issue and expand the borderline
so that working class could breathe.
Only the
common people can bring the country out of recession but MPs are busy battling
in order to retain their luxuries and unfortunately there's no voice for people
who are already down trodden.
Does House
of Commons really represent Commons ?
