i like it Andy, I like it a lot and it should be common practice and goes without saying

However, it will never happen because, apart from the odd few, they are all in it for themselves

I think everyone would agree that nobody in public office, MPs as well as councillors mayor's and all others who work within and have power over decisions on spending of public money and awarding of contracts etc, should be able to hand any of it to any companies that they are involved in/with or any other company where any of their family or close personal friends are major players in.


I have personally believed for a very long time that there needs to be a root and branch review of all public money spending by govt and councils and other taxpayer funded authorities and services etc, with a view to stopping excess wasteful spending and nepotism, and greatly reducing the overall eyewatering sums involved, and ultimately reducing the amount of tax paid by everyone.


Maybe it's time we all started voting for the Taxpayers Alliance...!?
