THANK goodness the Welsh Assembly Members (AMs) are
not being completely left behind by those money grabbers
in the Westminster government. The inhabitants of the
marvellous building in Cardiff Bay appear to be able to
pick up a few shekels for their much needed second
homes - well, come on now, would you really like to see
them commute like the rest of the nation? Be honest.
We don't bother with hundreds of MPs like London, so a
few essential purchases for their second homes are
undoubtedly unaffordable on their meagre salaries.
And did these gallant politicos not keep their pay
increases this year to the British average? Well, granted it
was a bit less than ten percent but they justified this
increase in so many ways. Just because I did not
understand any of these ways does not mean they were
wrong.
If all the people of Wales were to set their minds to the
task of compiling a long list of all the great things that
WAG has introduced it would show how incredible this
institution really is. Please don't include hot air and good
intentions on your list as even Rhodri the Great actually
said in a live TV answer that many people in Wales believe
this already. He must be very perspicacious, whatever that
means.
All our AMs should spend £2,000 on a sofa, it seems
dreadfully unfair that just one AM was singled out for
refusing to go to that company that always has a sale on
or not pairing up with a fellow AM to go to that other
company where you buy one and get one free.
I feel sure our AMs could never be accused of being self-
interested and taking greater care of their own needs
before that of the people they serve.
What does a sofa here or there matter in the great scheme
of things? After all they all need a place to rest the body
part from which they spout their logic.
