CBI Leaders rebuff treasury spin
BBC: Pension 'spin' attack on Treasury
Ministers keen to protect prime minister in-waiting Gordon Brown stated that Business leaders endorsed the decision in Brown's first budget to scrap pension tax credits. CBI director-general Richard Lambert flatly denies support for the policy and stated, "This is a convenient bit of spin by the Treasury".
Meanwhile shadow chancellor George Osborne will lead a commons debate on the issue and said, " It is time Gordon Brown faced the music for the damage he's done to British pensions."

Finally - BBC breaks its silence. Have a feeling this will die down for the recess - then flair up big time - just when Gordo wants to take over the reigns!!!
This one's for Glorius:
Goodbye to the summer
Sold down the river
Unhappy ever after
Well did you ever?
Did you ever reach for the glued-down penny?
Same old joke and it's not funny
Burns are red, bruises blue
Out with the old, cheated by the new
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
I don't remember...
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?
I don't remember...
You sing the same old verse
Stick like glue for better or worse
What goes around comes around, again, again, again
This heart pulled apart
Hydra fighting head to head
Burns are red, bruises blue
Out with the old cheated by the new
Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?

Thank goodness there is no attempt to suggest that the w******r is working on behalf of the general public.
