£600 is silly money if its your money, if it were the politicians who are stumping up the cash, then it might be 'our' money or 'someone else's' money entirely, but its more than likely 'they' (or their family) will be getting paid more than £600 for putting there smiley face in the room, but we may never know the truth. Do you know I really wish I didn't feel like that. Cynics like me aside, have a great day
