I HOPE we will not see the usual hate mail from those who think a weekly penny extra on their pensions better than paying for proper office support for our local MPs.

I wonder if Robbie Williams earns more each week than both of them claim in a year. You could ask the big fan in your office who ensures his photo appears every day.

Perhaps expected criticism caused a sudden flurry of interest in Swindon by Mr Wills who has recently appeared on several pages. Or maybe there is an election in the offing.

His agent has distributed a well-produced fan letter but I see Mr Wills is still trying to take the blame for our Tory PFI hospital.
