Happy 83rd Birthday Marilyn Monroe
Did you know that today, had she still been around, Marilyn Monroe would be celebrating her 83rd birthday!

Also, in 2007 the smoking ban was introduced in the UK and way back in 2005 the Dutch voted NO to Europe but we still seem to be playing that game. More information about what happened on this day in history can be found here.

Apparently, according to UKIP the MEPs are moving to a receipt system for their expenses, wise move. To compensate for this “fair play” on behalf of the politicians they are going to be awarded a 43% salary increase. They didn’t want to impact their standard of living... this means that an MEP gets... hang on, just read this on Wiki...

Salary
MEPs are paid exactly the same salary as a member of the lower House of their own national parliament. As a result, there is a wide range of salaries in the European Parliament. In 2002, Italian MEPs earned €130,000, while Spanish MEPs earned barely a quarter of that at €32,000. [3]

However, in July 2005 the Council agreed to a single statute for all MEPs, following a proposal by the Parliament. Thus, from the first day of the parliamentary term starting in 2009, all MEPs will receive a basic monthly salary of 38.5% of a European Court judge's salary - around €7,000. This represents a pay-cut for MEPs from some countries (e.g. Italy, Germany, and Austria), a rise for others (particularly the low-paid Eastern European Members) and status quo for those from the United Kingdom (depending on the euro-pound exchange rate). The much-criticised expenses arrangements will also be reformed. [4]

Sound like the Italians have been ‘aving a laugh but the shift seems fair to me.

Do vote on Thursday for whichever party... we need to ensure democracy, especially now...
