Pity me....

Bellatrix · 02-01-2005, 10:38 AM

For I am going back to Brussels this evening. My suitcases are (almost - I did a lot of shopping) packed, my stomach is preparing itself for a month of omelettes and I'm practising my favourite phrase: je ne parl pas le Francais.

At least I get to work for a decent party - but pity me when you are eating sunday roasts, drinking things in pints and speaking in English in a supermarket where mushrooms aren't sold with the dirty still attached.

...before I start to feel sorry for you, would you mind telling everyone how much of British taxpayers' money you are given for making this sacrifice?

Bellatrix · 02-01-2005, 11:50 AM

Excuse me? How rude are you!

Carl Faulkner · 02-01-2005, 12:02 PM

Rude? Asking how my tax is being spent.

If you are not embarressed to admit you take money from the taxpayer via the EU, you should not be coy about admitting how much.

Its no secret about the basic amount MEPs are on. What's your problem. If it were not for people voting UKIP you would not be working for them...

Are you prepared to tell every tom, dick and carl about your yearly income.? Who you work for is irrevelant. Because i voted UKIP does not give me the right to inquire INTO phpbb_anyone's personal finances. I consider it their business not mine. :wink:

Carl, why do you have such a chip on your shoulder?

Carl Faulkner · 02-01-2005, 04:20 PM

I would be prepared to tell every Tom, Dick and Carl if I worked for the corrupt EU and my pay was directly paid for by the British tax-payer. Non-state funded income is a different matter.

Why should it be a secret?

Bellatrix's stance, it seems, is typical of those who have their noses in the EU trough. Typical also of our own homegrown MPs who seem to think that what happens to your (taxpayers') money is nobody's business except their's.

It seems quite sinister that a person who uses an alias is afraid of disclosing the amount he or she earns.

Even the LibDEM MEP Chris 'Baloney' Davies is relatively open about his income, which I give him full credit for (even though there is much not disclosed)

You have a choice.
I have no sympathy whatsoever.

Please, during the course of your employment whatever that may be, do undermine the E.U.'s 'authority' at every opportunity.

If you are not willing to do this - you may as well stay at home.

I wish you well in your endeavours.

P.S. Any more jobs going? It would be nice to take home more than £150.00 a week again.

You'll have to post your CV on here so Carl can check it first.....

Anyone who wants to see what I earn can check it on the EP payscales.

Not interested. Nothing to do with me what other folks earn.
I'm sure you are hard-working and earn at least a proportion of the amount you get paid >grin<

What exactly is your job? Under the freedom of information act you have to tell me

One adjusts one's CV according to the position one seeks.
What positions are available, please?
I am not daft enough to post any CV on a public forum.
I live within a five minute walk of a Eurostar Station - does that help?
