Dominated by an army of overpaid, self-important party hacks

On 15 July 2009, Leo McInstry said this in The Daily Express:

“Today, no fewer than 35 Labour politicians sit around the Cabinet table in Gordon Brown’s Government. Few of them could be trusted to run an ice-cream stall. THE BLOATED SIZE OF BROWN’S CABINET IS AN INDICATOR OF GROWING INFLUENCE OF THE PROFESSIONAL POLITICAL CLASS IN MODERN BRITAIN. OUR LIVES ARE NOW INCREASINGLY DOMINATED BY AN ARMY OF OVERPAID, SELF-IMPORTANT PARTY HACKS, WHO SEEK TO JUSTIFY THEIR EXISTENCES WITH ENDLESS BOSSY INTERVENTIONS, POINTLESS ATTENTION-SEEKING ANTICS AND REGULATIONS.

Thomas Jefferson, the great American statesman and philosopher, once described politicians as ‘PARASITES ON THE LABOUR OF THE INDUSTRIOUS‘. THOSE WORDS CERTAINLY APPLY TO BROWN’S BRITAIN, WHERE THE UK GOVERNMENT HAS ERECTED A VAST POLITICAL BUREAUCRACY WHICH COSTS US A FORTUNE AND PARALYSES THE EFFECTIVE RUNNING OF THE COUNTRY.

New research by the BBC shows that THERE ARE 30,000 PAID POLITICIANS HERE, COMPARED TO JUST 3000 IN 1980. The huge increase is a direct result of Labour measures, such as the introduction of full-time, salaried local councillors, the creation of the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Assembly, and an expansion in the number of advisers at all levels. THE TOTAL BILL FOR ALL THIS SUBSIDISED POLITICAL CAREERISM NOW REACHES OVER £500MILLION.

Our MPs and Ministers cost at least £167million, while municipal representatives impose a burden on taxpayers of some £254million. More money is swallowed up by the expensive ranks of MSPs, MEPs and peers.

It says something about the warped priorities of New Labour that BRITAIN CURRENTLY HAS MORE PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS THAN AMBULANCE STAFF.”

'Dominated by an army of overpaid, self-important party hacks.' All of them as on-message, politically correct, globalist and as uncaring of the British majority as can be.

Not just me saying it, is it?
