Typical UK MP Salaries

"A 'bog standard' backbench MP is paid a salary of £60,675 a year. They get 18 weeks holiday a year, and can participate in a generous final income pension scheme.

They can claim up to £90,505 as a staffing allowance, and many use this to 'employ' members of their own families. They are also entitled to an Incidental Expenses Provision of up to £21,339 per annum, and an Additional Costs Allowance of up to £23,083 a year, to cover nights spent away from home.

For the year 2006/07, the average expenses claim for each MP was an incredible £135,773."

BBC Documentary: The UK is a Big Brother State

Mischief - Bust My Ass

"Journalist Sam Delaney has a hunch that we are living in a 'Big Brother state'. He believes since New Labour came to power, over 3000 new offences have been created that can get you 'nicked'; the police have greater powers of arrest and every day there is a new initiative to monitor ordinary people." ~ BBC 3

Watch the full, nearly one hour long, documentary here.

Peter Dale Scott: Recipe for a Sucessful Revolution

Peter Dale Scott is a former Canadian diplomat and English Professor at the University of California, Berkeley as well as a poet, writer, and researcher.

In this clip he explains what the real problem is in the USA (and the world) and what steps are necessary to bring about a successful revolution, which by the way has already started and won't be televised.

Don't be afraid, he's not an extremist of any sort :) - His words are very inspirational.
