And the primary cause of the "FT" backlash is they are grossly overpaid to come up with such a no-brainer replacement policy.
I would like to discuss the phrase that you quote "they are grossly overpaid."
I tend to disagree. Let me explain.
When you say that a person is being paid, it means that person is paid by someone else. A case like a worker's salary is paid by the boss. The salary is agreed upon during the interview.
For the case of your sinkie ministers, their pay is from the taxpayers' payment of tax. So that means that sinkie agree upon the pay of their ministers.
However, in reality, that is not the case, your sinkie govt dun even give you any respect at all and can help themselves in any amount they are happy to be paid.
why does this happen? Why your sinkie govt does not even even look at you and do whatever they want?
Ahhh, that is because you sinkies do not have any balls to challenge them. When you dun dare to challenge them, they will do more and more to squeeze u. The sinkie govt got more balls to deal with you since you surrender you balls to them.
You want things to settle, you got to get back your balls from them.
When you get your balls back from your govt, they will have no balls. It is all about who is holding more balls.
So I think the more appropriate way of putting it would be: the sinkie govt help themselves with the money whereby its coward citizens can do nothing about it and too ball-less to do anything about it.
