I’m sure we can knock together a beige office space for them instead, without a subsidised bar and maybe with a clocking in machine so they can justify their pay.
So MPs are pushing up the bill to repair the building because they don’t want to work elsewhere for a while? The entitlement, man.
As a child, when our school was crumbling a bit too much, they put some Portakabins at the other end of the playground, and we did all our lessons in them.
Can’t they just put some Portakabins at the end of their yard and do all their politics in them, to allow the main building to be cleared out and repaired properly?
If some pissy little primary school could afford it in the 80s, I’m sure the houses of Parliament can.
They should move out, turn it into a museum and set up a fit for purpose modern assembly building. Possibly somewhere like Birmingham, Leeds or Manchester.
If they turned it into a museum, they’d still have to maintain it as well as the new building in Slough that they’d move into. Also our prestige would lower, state opening of parliament might not be able to happen and thus another portion of tourist income down the drain also. I think there’s more of an appeal to visiting it anyway as it’s a functional building.
Slough.
This is why the country needs to cut benefits to the bone and pauperise the most vulnerable in society… so that toffs and spads can keep their crumbling drinking club open.
I suggest “Project Guy Fawkes” to save the UK taxpayer £2 million a week.
Oh dear. My heat melted brain read that as Iran Visits. Why are the Iranians doing a hit piece on the Houses Of Parliament?
