From Andy and Jojo Lane.

WELL what a surprise – after a week of announcements regarding many cuts in funding for our schools and charities, we now are hit with the news that our esteemed States Members are unwilling to take a cut in their already substantial salaries.

In fact, it appears they are actually going to get a rise. In our opinion this is appalling. How can they be so two-faced? Surely they should be leading by example.

They are calling for cuts left, right and centre, including imposing voluntary redundancies on public employees, but are not prepared to contribute to the Jersey economy by at least freezing their own big fat pay packets.

Oh boy, do I look forward to the next round of election fever when the working people of Jersey can show once and for all what they really think of the way our Island is continuing to be run into the ground. Our stuffed-shirt, not-in-my-back-yard minded, standing politicians, should not be surprised when they get voted out.

With a new round of taxes and with little or no wage increase heading our way to deal with them, is it any wonder people are leaving the Island of their birth and heritage in their droves? Is it any wonder so many locals, including ourselves, are looking to relocate?

Come the revolution, we will find out exactly what the real people of Jersey really think of our beloved local politicians.
