This is how it goes:-

Labour politician............ look at all them lot, they get paid loads more than us, southern poofs, how can we get away with paying ourselves more
I know, we'll spend some of that money we're meant to save by getting some of them consultants in.
A month and £27000 later, aye up... them consultants we just gave 27 grand to say we need to be paid 30 grand more
Well it wasn't us was it, them consultants said we had to do it, totally disagree with it myself, disgraceful
