How do polticians get away with it

 Liam Fox has not been found guilty and has not been found innocent, so there is an enquiry into his behaviour.  If he was  a teacher or doctor or even a policeman he would now be suspended until the decision was made.  But Dr Fox as a politician and a minister so somehow he is allowed to continue carrying on his duties as a minister despite the fact that there is an enquiring into his behaviour. so the next few months whilst the  enquiry takes place he can go on using his office and behaving as he wishes.

  It is just interesting that MPs and politicians somehow think they can behave in the worst way than any other public servant.  It's just because they recognise that they are a very unimportant people so that they cheat and behave improperly as a matter of no import.  It has been the same with  respect to their pensions and to their behaviour on the fiddling expenses.  Perhaps we will get no one to respect politicians until they learn to behave honourably.

  On a completely different note I was thinking about the governments policy on whether people who are ill can work. One of the difficulties is that the government can't really know. So why not let employers organisations make the decision,  Obviously if the tax payer is footing the bill they will make  more & more people unfit for work. So any funding for people who are not fit enough to work should be paid by employers from a payroll tax. That way they would have an incentive to help people get back to work. They might even find that flexible working for those with health problems would be a really good idea.
