WHAT a sad disappointment G Brown gave to pensioners with his spin last Tuesday.

It is a deception that the pensions are to go up by £100 pa, which is just in line with inflation or less. But not with wages as NL pledged when in opposition. Restore the link!

Eleven million pensioners are robbed, and most are living in poverty, after a lifetime of building the nation and paying taxes.

Pensioners are thrown aside, devalued, while wealthy MPs give themselves a 10 per cent rise and double their expenses to £100,000 pa -- nice isn't it for the wife or family.
