It is OK for you lot east of Offa's ****. The Welsh Assembley has just awarded themselves a whacking big pay rise of over 8% per annum. For the average member it equates to over £4000 rise, therefore God only knows what the appointed ministers and leader will be getting. What a wonderful job to be able to vote yourself a huge payrise whilst those around you suffer and starve. Oh to be an AM. Who the hell voted for devolution for Wales? - perhaps they will not be so eager to own up to the stupidity of their ways.
