Internet argument

I seem to have upset some little Conservatives over my comments on Hague and his huge payments for talking. If you want to follow the discussion have look here

Money talks

Yesterday Harriet Harman and William Hague faced each other across the despatch box in the House of Commons. It was revealed that Hague was paid £30,000 pounds for two after-dinner speeches by the Royal Bank of Scotland.

I can speak well in public but I don't get paid anything. No, wait. A few weeks ago I preached at Settle St. John's and they offered me expenses. At 40p a mile that amounted to £8.00. I do think Mr. Hague speaks well, but surely charging £15,000 a time is nothing short of extortionate.

It begs the question: What can people like that understand about people like us?
