It's nothing at all to do with that. It's the fact that someone who is no longer in office is paid by the tax payer for duties that they aren't obliged to carry out. They make enough money from their pension, and from appearance money.

There are stong opinions because in a time when there are huge cut backs in spending, the likes of John Major and Tony Blair are STILL taking tax payers money that they don't need, and shouldn't be entitled to.
