Joke of the Day !

Saw the following headline and just collapsed in laughter ..

"MEPs vote to keep world beating salaries and allowances"

MEPS have voted against a series of measures which would have seen their world record beating parliamentary allowances frozen or reduced to bring the European Parliament more in line with national austerity spending cuts.

Marta Andreasen, a former chief accountant at the European Commission and Ukip MEP, said that in voting down such measures at a time when the UK and other member states had introduced severe austerity cuts MEPs had shown their "true colours."

My question: Did anyone really expect them to vote for austerity and their own belt tightening ?
