Judges will always be particularly well paid and provided for, irrespective of the government of the days political persuasion. The reasoning being, that a well paid judge will not see corruption as an appealing alternative.....

But escaping tax on their pensions would be an apealing alternative?? As they were threatening stike action if they didnt get their own way!!

And, no, I am not jealous - I cannot spend what I have anyway -

Make no mistake, Labour are THE BEST we have available - whatever happens, and they WILL stay in power for a decade more (so, we had better get used to it!)

I actually agree with you, Peter.

Even HM has to pay tax so why shouldn't judges?

The threat of a strike has lowered their standing to me. These poeple are the last bastion of good faith we have in our nation, and are supposed to be the fathers/mothers of our law.

No. TB is a lawyer as are many MPs of all parties. Lawyers have probably the best set of restrictive practices and old boys network in the land (trade union in other words). Boy do they look after their own!

What makes you think NL is a Labour government. Old Labour which was at least a decent thinking bunch if incompetent, allowed themselves to be well and truly conned by this lot. And the deputy PM sold his soul to the devil!

greatest leader of our time
Bliar?

You really have lost the plot, haven't you? On second thoughts, 'lost' infers you had 'it' in the first place, which is highly questionable.

The history books will show Blair as the greatest leader since time began.

I see that Labour are 11 points ahead of the Tories!! Ha Ha Ha Ha!!

MOST people are loving it ........... we are richer and safer than ever ..... long live Labour!

Very doubtful.

We're looking into a financial black hole of £10Bn which Brown's created. He's going to have to tax his way out of that and Bliar's misguided actions in supporting Bush over the imaginary WMD have made the UK a far more dangerous place than it ever was before.

Go and and empty your bag, Pete - it's full of ****.
