Gordon Brown has said "mistakes" were made by MPs in their use of House of Commons expenses.

Yeah, as if were going to believe that it was a 'mistake' Gordon Brown. Never mind, not long to go now........yippppppeeeeeeeeee!! What do you reckon members, mistakes or deliberate because they thought they could get away with it. Could be an interesting little response here Gordy, me old mate! Yuck, why did I write that?

Hey, I'm on medication for hypertension so I'll be okay, but thanks to you girls for worrying about me! The thing that makes my blood BOIL is the example of a local MP who is paid over £64,000 per annum and still claimed an additional £74,000 for expenses! This is more money than the average UK resident will see in their lifetime and the MP's won't get nicked for it either! On the other hand if the local odd job man makes an extra £20 whilst he's on benefits he virtually risks a flogging!
