The Observer stories I suggested you read, to aquaint yourself more fully with the local political scene in Hyndburn, have reports stating that neighbouring councils accept the recommended limits set by independent bodies, and have not voted to award themselves vast increases, at a time when those members of the public lucky enough to have a job are settling for increases in line with inflation...if they're lucky.

I know this but i guess they have the power to do it and look at the national level MP ETC SO I GUESS THEIRS NOT MUCH WE CAN DO.

Personally I'd find it difficult to voice an an opinion, and pledge my vote for someone, when I knew so little of the facts.

In my book two wrongs certainly don't make a right.

A very poor excuse.

Can you supply evidence to back up your claims about increases for national level politicans?

I'm afraid I'm not Mystic Meg, and I have no idea where you live, and therefore no idea who your councillors are.

However this information is very readily accessible, especially if you have the gumption to use a computer.

If you want to debate the pay levels and benefits for M.P.'s please start another thread.

I noticed you didn't offer any evidence to back the claims you made, when requested?

I'm afraid than other than supplying you with the link to find your councillor, you'll have to do the next bit of research yourself.
