[rtil]

then i could spend all the taxpayers' money !

4 of gordon brown's (british PM) chums have been exposed for racking up hundreds of receipts in tens of thousands of taxpayer money for stuff they wanted, including (but not limited to) a £2,278 40" widescreen HDTV, a £600 lawnmower, an £8,000 bookshelf and a £25,000 rent-a-cop service.

but here's the good news - in order to get the money they have to justify why they need it. this stops a lot of unecessary spending. for example, a former labor minister complained to the MP, "I object to your decision not to reimburse me for the costs of purchasing a baby's cot for use in my London home... perhaps you might write to me explaining where my son should sleep next time he visits me in London?"

but the £8,000 bookshelf? definitely needed that one.

when are the brits gonna revolt and throw gordon brown and his chronies off the big ben?

you reading this lenko? come on, be a hero
