Would you?
It's hypocritical of them to take up seats in a Parliament they believe our country should not be part of, and even more so to take the money. I hope I have more integrity.

And besides that, it's unnecessarily rude.
So what would you do if this was your job and only source of income?
Get another job

I thought they did not want the job? Money cannot be a consideration for them.

I think to be fair it's an adsence of bad news. Some jobs that weren't particularly under threat aren't being cut. As opposed to the jobs that are being lost as a result of Brexit at Nissan, Honda, Ford, and in the event of no deal, Vauxhall. And their supply chains. And in in local businesses that rely on the factories.

But it's a price worth paying.

They gave up whatever they were doing in April to stand. As Ms Sarah notes, they could have done as Sinn Fein MPs do - not take their seat and not draw the salary. They could then have continued to do whatever they were doing before.

And there remains no excuse for the rudeness.

Well there's your spin: "It's not good news or a sign of faith in the country, it's just not bad news!" :wtf:

The answer can be repeated ad infinitum. Perhaps we can move on instead of asking the same question time and again.

Isn't that avoiding a proper answer? Something you lot don't agree with - sound desperately like double standards to me...!?!

I consider it a perfectly proper answer. Not sure what you mean by "You lot" Cant speak for others but I am an individual with my own independent thoughts.

I would suggest that by asking the above it is you that is avoiding a proper answer.

If they do not want the job as Expressman says perhaps they should be looking for other jobs. I doubt that the salary from the EU will be their only source of income, after all none of them seem to be worrying where their income will come from after 31st October.

Nigel Farage for one seems to have a nice line in Sugar Daddies.
