WELL just when you thought it couldn't happen it has. A committee of Assembly members has now decided that they need more members due to an ever increasing work load.

Well I say that's tough, you lot took the job so you suffer the consequences.

If you have taken too much on with the clowns already in the Assembly that's your fault. Rosemary Butler the presiding officer of the Assembly states that due to more devolution taking place, the workload has shifted.

Well whose fault is that, you must have known the remit before taking up the job. The Welsh taxpayer cannot afford to fund any more Assembly members to the tune of millions of pounds.

Do these politicians ever venture out of the Assembly building? This Labour Government has slashed the funding to councils whom are now cutting services to Libraries, Leisure Centres, Youth Facilities yet they spend money like water.

There is talk of the Vale Council cutting over 450 jobs, Cardiff council has reduced the wages of their staff, and the councils of Rhondda Cynon Taff, Merthyr, and Caerphilly have all threatened to slash jobs and cut services.

How on earth can Rosemary Butler justify taking on more AMs at a cost of tens of millions of pounds when all these cuts and job losses are taking place.

These politicians live on a different planet to the rest of us. I think the only solution to this as I have said before is to abolish the whole circus in Cardiff and turn the buildings they use into an indoor circus to remind us of who was there.
