Getting elected and the sense of self-importance blinds people to where exactly the money comes from...

It is in the Pink Book, last time I looked was 2017, which was just over £22,570.00, Probably around £35,000.00 now but can't find it.

I'm sure a figure of around £170k was mentioned around October 2023...but can't find any actual mention of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was just the membership.Google it. To be honest I thought it would be published under members interests, in government audit accounts.

You'd be amazed how many people here still hold MHKs in demi-god status and believe everything they say like it was being handed down on stone tablets, it's how the fuckers get away with so much. I was in the old Shoprite in Ramsey a few months back and an "old boy" was practically on his knees worshipping Alf Cannan who was in there, over his performance during Covid.
