Victim of an overly complex expenses system???

This man Gordon Brown, was Chancellor of the Exchequer for around a decade for Goodness Sakes!! Yet the Sunday Telegraph in its editorial today tries to offer such an explanation and all the MSM dutifully swallow and report it?? Let me repeat what the paper revealing the detail of this huge conspiracy has chosen to say in its editorial today: "There are those MPs who, despite their good intentions, have none the less fallen victim to an overly complex expenses system that has served to portray their actions in an unflattering light. For example, the receipts submitted by Gordon Brown for the cost of a cleaner, shared with his brother Andrew, fall into such a category. There has never been any suggestion of any impropriety on the part of the Prime Minister or his brother." For me the questions remain! Why was an empty flat being cleaned? Why was the occupant of Downing Street claiming expenses for a nearby second flat? Why did he sell our gold at the bottom of the market? Why did he destroy my pension fund? Why did he remove housing costs from Mervyn King's inflation targets???? Etc.etc., etc. Is this how Brown chooses to be remembered: Picture source Evening Standard, linked here,
