Why the chin pinching in that photo? Is that meant to be mean or supportive?

but what does it mean? Does she not like brown or is it a sign of support?

Surely the people would have more respect if Brown said he was getting rid of these people instead of defending them and then them "stepping" down.Have you seen the polls regarding Ministers....Thursday will be interesting thats for sure.

The lot of them make me sick. They have all been exposed with exploiting expenses with the exception of his Lovliness. They have hung on and on hoping for an election to get re-voted into their constituancy's until GB talks of sackings..... then they resign. They should have gone months ago when the public called for them to be booted out.

Pre election run-ups always get dirty with smear tactics and some-one would have shopped them. The Mail is exposing the Lib Dem and UKIP MP's who have abused expenses this week. Funny enough, i saw a report that they could not find one single BNP member to dis-credit. Even Cameron himself is having to pay back expenses to save face. They are all as bad as each other.

Where-ever there is power and money, it is open to abuse. It makes me wonder if this is what we know, then what don't we know?

Yes. I cannot see why wrongdoers should not simply be sacked.

The problem with "all this so-called resigning" is that it allows these people to retain benefits that they should, according to popular and likely correct opinion, lose instantly.

Yerse. Lots of "mistakes" and "oversights" in Gov't. that I don't suppose would work for Joe Bloggs - "I made a mistake and buzzed a brick through the Diamonde Shoppe window, it were a genwine mishtake yer honner, I've returned the goods so let me orf, won'cha". Erm, no.

There is total corruption in the government, and a hellovalot of corruption in local government too. You can't change a leopard's spots, so when the heat has died down these con-men/women will find another way to swindle the honest people of Britain, with some other crafty weeze. They have been dishonest, so nothing less than taking all the guilty ones to court and administering justice (that'll be a laugh), would even go part way to pacifying the British working man. There is a great deal of unrest in the UK and the powers that be should take heed. :mad: :mad: :mad:

Very well said Gill. The elections will show just how many folk are lodging protest votes and joining fringe parties. I saw the BNP recruitment figures and they are processing up to 200 new memberships a week. UKIP are also seeing a rise in new memberships. I predict Labour and the Tory's will get a pounding in the elections.
