[joseph harris]

Oh yes, the old game of using a change in the law to further
establish the position of the legislators.    Here MPs have been
busy handing themselves generous increases, pensions and
expenses.   While expecting all othe servants of the crown to get
below inflation rises.

Power corrupts, i suppose.
