Title: Out of touch or just taking the piss?
Post by: Grumpmeister on December 14, 2016, 09:19:30 PM
A group of Labour MP's have recorded their own version of 'Do They Know it's Christmas' where they complain about low wages despite awarding themselves another unwarranted pay rise. You open the song with the line 'Christmas is hard on the minimum wage' but let me ask you this, with your basic salary now rising to over £75k how the hell are you supposed to have even the faintest idea on what it is like existing on the minimum wage?
