They put up Council Taxes, fuel,food etc., but their disposable income is increased so they can afford it. Most people are not on the wages that they are or are having the pay rises that they have so how can the normal person afford all of these increases. They talk about using public transport, that's all very well if you live in a town or city that has the infastructure to provide the like. But living in rural Wales, that facility is not provided, and we therefore are required to use vehicles, why are we being penalised for transporting our children, earning a living and living our lives. Most of us would like to be earning the amount of money that our MP's, AM's are earning, but what are they actually achieving for us rate payers - nothing at all. I think it is time that they actually did something for the people instead of lining their own pockets!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7274304154981222075.post-10417784276475966192008-04-01T20:52:00.000+01:002008-04-01T20:52:00.000+01:00His political Diary Secretary's temporary position...His political Diary Secretary's temporary position must now be coming to an end.
