How much?

Russell Brand, relaxing

I notice that the BBC is preparing the ground for OFCOM to insist that they spill the beans regarding how much of OUR money is used to keep the likes of Jonathon Woss in the style to which he has become rapidly accustomed.

This is the result of one man, whoever he may be, leaking the MP’s expenses file.

Excellent.

Now I want a list of the salaries of ALL public employees. If a bandage costs the NHS £13.50 when I can buy it in Superdrug for 79p, I want to know about it.

So in the spirit of transparency, copy and send to your town hall:

Dear Town Clerk (no, not CEO. You gave yourself that title, I didn’t)

As you work for me, spending my money, I’d like to know what you paid yourself last year and what you claimed on expenses. With receipts please. Oh, and your departmental heads as well.

When we’ve finished with that, I’d like to know the going price for:

A: A set of traffic lights
B: One bulb for a street lamp
C: A primary school meal.

Once I know, I’ll tell you if I can find any of it cheaper. Including yourself.

Love and Kisses

Old Holborn
