Brown has condemned most of us to having to work well into our 70s with the prospect of never having enough of a pension to survive on
GORDON Brown continues to re-write history.
Bank crash ... nothing to do with me governor! Iraq war ... those pesky, lying Americans again!
Next he’ll be telling us we made a killing on the gold reserves he sold off. It also couldn’t possibly have been him who scrapped tax relief on companies final salary pension schemes that’s led to the almost total extinction of these benefits.
Through his actions, he has condemned most of us to having to work well into our 70s with the prospect of never having enough of a pension to survive on. Please do not allow this cretin to airbrush history and portray himself as some kind of saviour to this country.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
