They fly so high above us, we -the little people, can only wonder what terrible responsibilities
they're burdened with.
How do you get over losing your job as an MP?
'How long does it take to get over the shock of losing your job as an MP? A year, two days?
Inevitably some MPs - such as former Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg and former SNP
leader Alex Salmond - found themselves out of a job in the early hours of this morning - and
it can be tough to take.
A study by the Open University Business School didn't beat about the bush when summing
up just how difficult it can be for some MPs to leave office.
It included an anonymous quote from one former MP, who said: "It was like a bereavement,
and it was, but there was no funeral."
In the same study, Baroness Jowell, who stood down at the 2015 election after 23 years as
the MP for Dulwich and West Norwood, explained why it can be such a terrible shock to the
system.
"As an elected politician, you are always switched on and feel the responsibility for your
electorate day and night. This is not easy to give up."...'

My word, it must be a nightmare for these people!!
It seems that all the coal-miners who lost their jobs during the Thatcher years -which brought
hardship and poverty to communties that sole reason for being there was the mining industry,
had it easy!
The steel-workers and ship-builders in my own region must have been giddy with joy when
their own respective industries were destroyed, they had no idea what people like Baroness
Jowell would be going through.
The working-class will never understand that to lose one's position in the Government is a far
greater loss that someone losing an income for their families!!
No... the masses will never know what it's like to never be able to bring your pooch into the
office again on 'Bring-A-Pet' Day or lose the right to travel to Europe on a useless junket.
Because everyone works in an office, right? (Forgive the above sarcsm)
This is the people the UK election was all about. The middle-class were the prime target
for both the Conservative and the Labour Party. The vote was about London and the 'fairly
well-off'... the same ones who quietly protest in the capital and haven't a clue about the
European Union, they were after the snowflakes.
The same BBC were discussing the fallout of the election on Saturday morning -with two
farmers and one of them employed around 400 migrant workers. This chap owned a strawberry
company (farmer?!)... and explained that many Indian, Pakistani, Polish and Albanian workers'
jobs were now in jeopardy because of 'Brexit'
By the way, he was wearing a suit.
One can only wonder why Indian and Pakistanis -not of the EU, would travel so far from their
native homes to pick strawberries for a minimum wage. Unless... no, I can't say that.
It is these migrant workers that the election ignored, like it or not, it was these people, construction
workers, hospital cleaners, shelf-stackers, trash collectors and anyone who didn't hover around a
water-cooler at break-time, that were beyond the major parties purviews.
The Conservatives were always for the wealthy. That might be a bland statement as anyone who
puts in the work and focuses on accumulating money, could fall under that headng. But it's not just
the amount in your bank-balance that counts... it's an aloofness that comes from a Britishness that
many Brits are not allowed to have.
Labour -the party built to represent the blue-collar worker, has morphed into a happy-go-lucky group
of 'Conservative-Lite' that know that someone fills the shelves of their up-market store or makes the
commuter trains work, but it's more interesting to talk about reasonable debate when dealing with
a nuclear missle heading towards the British Isles.
We've become softies... the kids that the rough boys pushed out of the way and if we're not careful,
a bigger rough-boy will make us cry.
