Former MP's getting their just deserts?

There is no gloating over the demise of those who have never shown an ounce of concern for those who looked after the Nation, servicemen. With one third of homeless former servicemen AND WOMEN, ten years of trying to place this problem at the fore of public consciousness leaves me cold. Suddenly there is an awareness that injured soldiers are being neglected by the people they serve.
A famous politician was close by, then a soldier, when a comrade was severely injured by a nail bomb, on the Ardoynne in Belfast. The whole concern then was for the most severely injured- the CO. Those close by with superficial wounds just went on with their work under a hail of petrol bombs, gelignite bombs and arms fire. The fact that the unit had been denied a right to react now seems laughable,especially with regards to the American reactions to violence perpetrated against them.
What concerns me is that I cannot remember the name of the skipper, though is face looms large in my memory. I also remember his lovely wife with affection and respect that comes only with regret that we did not do more for her and her husband.
In a quiet moment, my politician friend, we were in a lift going up to his office at Westminster, told me that this wonderful woman cared for her highly disabled husband in almost total isolation, in a remote cottage in the depths of Cornwall.
My Old CO deserves all the consideration a Nation can give. MP's have forfeited any consideration by neglecting their remit to hold Government to account on YOUR behalf.

clipped from www.dailymail.co.uk The unemployables: How our former MPs struggle to find work The study said employers have little use for former MPs - and some take more than a year to find a job. And those who do manage to find work often complain that they do not earn as much as they did in Westminster. Others sulk about losing the perks of the Commons. A careers advice company cited in the report warned that a high percentage of former MPs 'were commercially unemployable at senior management level'. One in three of the 180 MPs polled for the report, called Life After Losing Or Leaving, were given public jobs after leaving the Commons. "Some former MPs struggled to find work and many earned less after leaving the House of Commons," said the report by Professor Kevin Theakston and his team at Leeds University. "Just one fifth said they were able to find work immediately or almost immediately. One in seven took a year to find employment.
