Labour MPs awarded legal aid to fund their court battle against charges that they fiddled parliamentary expenses will have to pay the money back, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said.
Oh yes and how is he going to get them to do that, I wonder? Appeal to their better nature I suppose?
"I think the evidence is that people in their position will have to pay back the money - or most of the money - they get in legal aid.
"We have actually abolished this free legal aid from the end of June, so it has to be means-tested from the end of June and they wouldn't have got it in these circumstances. The law has changed, so I think the money will have to be paid back."
That really is a load of bollocks. It is being phased in and not all courts have carried it out yet. The usual soundbite politics from the deluded, monocular twat.
