Gordon’s Pension Misery Continues
The pain continues for Gordon today as readers of the Telegraph are asked to comment on how the Great Pension Robbery Of 1997 will affect them. The sentiment is clear for all to see, and it’s not pretty. It must be plain to all but the most backward members of the general public now that Brown has created a crisis waiting to happen by raiding our future to pay for his. The Labour Party will surely soon realise Gordon is a lame duck candidate and a non-starter as Labour leader and Prime Minister. Who knows what damage he could do if he ever makes it as far as nextdoor?
Some of the comments by Telegraph readers are shown below to give an impression of just how anti-Gordon the public is becoming:
Mr Brown should face criminal charges for stealing £100bn of pension funds from us over the last 10 years.
He is a duplicitous serial offender from whom we have no protection.
…
I am age 68 and it looks as if I will need to work to age 75 in order to erase the damage made to my pension by Mr Brown, I ask the people of England, do we want this man in charge of us ?. I think not.
…
The RECENT REVELATIONS with the release of the ’suppressed’ treasury documents show just how completely Gordon Brown is unfit for high office. I had always assumed that his disasterous decision to abolish the tax relief on pension fund investments was due to incompetence. Now I realise just how callous the man is. Along with millions of others my pension fund will be worth at best half of what I had expected when originally planning my retirement. The number of families destined to have a much poorer quality of life in retirement can directly lay the blame on one person. Adding ’salt’ to the wound is the realisation that his generous pension postion is not only ‘ringfenced’ but will be paid for by his many victims.
…
This is a disgrace. He ignored advice and has ruined, or will be responsible for the ruin, of the lives of nearly everyone in the country except for foreign immigrants. In better times this would have been a resignation issue. I expect we wont even get an apology. Blame the CBI? Like all New Labour they blame everyone but themselves and take responsibility for nothing.
The above are just a handful of the 250 comments that the Telegraph website has received on this issue at the time of writing, universally condeming Gordon Brown for his out-and-out theivery.
