WAKE up politicians in this election year, is the average person in the street really worried about a penny increase in a first class stamp (you try delivering a first class letter in the UK for 63p) and the TV Licence @ £145.50 per year = 40p a day.
They should be thinking of the price of food, fuel and transport costs that we have to pay and the huge profits these companies make to pay their shareholders should be looked into. And if a politician cannot live on £67,000 per year (3x the average wage), there is something wrong.
