250,000 more reasons to kill all MPs

BBC News - MPs' portraits exhibit contrasting styles

A committee of MPs has spent a total of £250,000 since 1995 commissioning portraits and statues of other MPs.

On top of their mammoth wage rises. For a worse performance every year.

You think £1 is a reason to kill 600+ people?

Also, please tell us you are trolling rather than utterly ignorant of the circumstances surrounding MP salaries?

Yes, most extreme BP. Killing about 100 of them would do me.

they didn't get value for money. Abbot looks like a caricature Paddy & Ken a bit weird. Betty isn't bad but the best is B'liar they seem to have got the spirit of evil.

Why don't they start a competition in the art Colleges and take the winner?

Can the 100 include Tony Blair, Ed Milliband and "Call me Dave" please?

Actually I would kill 650 bodies (people is a bit strong) for 1p.

As for MPs salaries, they always quote back to 1998 just after that mammoth pay rise they got. They got the popularist route for everything.

Just one example - which political party will say that house prices are too high and you can't base on econonmy on rising house prices.

Actually bearing that in mind I have changed my mind on the1p. A paper clip will do it.

Yes, but I'd cut it to 50 so that you can kill the really bad ones twice.

Well the MPs don't seem to want the rise, but the body in charge claims that they won't actually be any better off because numerous expenses are being stopped. The proposed linkage of MP salaries to inflation or average wage (I think it's the latter) seems sensible.

Perhaps we should simply fix MPs salaries for the next 5 years, as has happened in a few parts of the private industry, and wait until one of the tribalist parasites breaks first and comes running to the BBC complaining about personal inflation rates and how they differ from the "official" figures of CPI.

Blair certainly. Not any of the current party leaders for me, they are crap but don't deserve executing. Ed Balls is more annoying than loathsome.

Ken Clarke and Vince Cable would certainly be on my list plus lots of (all) ghastly EU types like Barossa would be there.

I expect MI5 will arrest us for plotting terrorism.

PS what did MI1, 2, 3 and 4 do?
