Thanks for ten year old article Raggy, much appreciated - If correct then that has made me feel much, much better. They are however still paid and they do still claim expenses........ So what's your point?

Oh and Shaw very pleased to read that you have now downgraded your definite statements on Brexit to mere speculations now - a move in the right direction. The big difference between my speculations and yours is that yours are ideologically based rantings and mine are based on common sense and fact.
