    As for foreign aid I think that should be stopped until we've looked after our own. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Agreed he is highly paid (too much on balance) but there is 3 of them on that plus the head on 100k plus. My point is more that £75k or thereabouts is not a huge amount to be earning for running the country. To be honest I was surprised how much he and the others are on as it's £25k or so more than the next level down. Don't know where you found your average from though figures I've just found come out at £55k that's the first google result anyway. Re. Expenses it's no wonder they claim a lot otherwise they would be broke being paid so little [emoji23] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Except it hasn't as he is on£77k big school mind. I was not talking averages. Besides £74k isn't enough to attract any one that's half decent. The main reason people can afford to do it is they already have money and they are on some personal mission Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    MPs well paid? The deputy head teacher at my wife's school earns more for not running a school yet you think MPs are well paid to run the country. Maybe if it did pay well we would get some decent MPs Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Maybe but I was talking about this with my dad not long ago. He reckoned he got back all he paid in in about 5 years. He does not need it all it does is go towards whatever car lease he chooses every 2 years. Wrong? maybe when others are choosing between heating and eating. That's not his fault though is it.

    I've just seen that no rent payments until Jan 2018. Makes me wonder if the housing benefit will be stopped? My guess is not. The council can't win now since it's been politicised! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    I'd agree with that especially the benefits of the public sector. Take my wife's job as a teacher. money is reasonably good she could earn more doing something else in the private sector as she has the qualifications. But she gets 13 weeks a year holiday. Good sick pay (6 months full 6 months half) and a reasonable pension. Though they did move the goalposts on that so she is not getting what she signed up for (at least some of it anyway as they have managed somehow to split it with some on the old deal and some on the new deal) She could be earning double salary but without the other benefits now.

    Maybe if we were forced to turn out and vote then pr would make sense? As it is now lots can't even be bothered to make a short trip to vote Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Hung parliaments can't be a good outcome for anyone as nothing will get done. Like in America Obama being president but not being able to push stuff through because the other side could block its path. The same for trump too. If the "winner" can't get what they promised voters done they are not really winners at all Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    How many times in the past 50 years for example would pr have changed the outcome? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    The problem with socialism is that it sounds good too good to be true almost and there lies the problem. When something sounds........ You know the rest Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    So you think they should not pay tuition fees? I think they should and pay the loans for them back quick as well! I paid the last £4K of my wife's student loans off out of my savings to get it out the way. Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Where does the money appear from to pay everyone extra money? If all the money is in the 1% how (apart from stealing sorry taxing it out of them) do you get it back into the economy? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    No mainly because she's a teacher[emoji16] but no to that as well. Though for wannabe physics teachers they are being offered £20k to train up and be one Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    Err it isn't if they don't ever get a decent paying job they will never have to pay it back Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

    I was not talking about your earnings I was talking about the fees Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  23. Richard 1234
    So do you want the top to earn less or the bottom to earn more? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  24. Richard 1234
    Why is it a race to the bottom? Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk
  25. Richard 1234
    That's utter rubbish and you know it! If you are bright enough to go you can go. All the fees are available as a loan as I understand it that only gets paid back when you earn enough. Aside from that how many graduates are working on the till in Tesco or as car salesman or any other job that should not really require a degree but needs one now since mr Blair decided that everyone ought to go!
