IN 1935, we had 618 MPs to run an empire of 600 million. Today we have 650 to run a nothingness of 70 million.
All major laws are passed by Europe. With income and money depleted, our MPs can neither raise nor lower taxes.
They can neither control the banks nor the energy suppliers and although they promised much, they found they can do very little except cut jobs and lose what little growth we had.
Never before in the history of the British Isles have so many been employed to control so little.
This being so, isn’t it time that like so many in the real world outside Westminster, at least half of them lost their jobs?
But with no democratic means of voting for this since this self-employing crowd control the agenda, this extravagant nothingness will continue.
