Brownstuff should be made to apologise then introduce retrospective legislation to compensate everyone affected.
Might bankrupt the UK but there's plenty of car-boot sales going on to raise some funds. Alternatively let some more of our navy be captured by a couple of men in a tin bath, to reduce that pesky war bill a bit more.

Originally posted by Kyajaeit was all the CBI's fault.
Originally posted by BBC NewsLord Turner has called Treasury claims he or anyone else senior at the CBI lobbied for Gordon Brown's 1997 pension tax changes "completely untrue".
The Treasury claims that Chancellor Gordon Brown had been lobbied by the business group in 1996, when Lord Turner was the director-general.
Lord Turner's denial to the BBC came as current CBI boss Richard Lambert said the Treasury was indulging in "spin".
It follows Tory claims Mr Brown ignored warnings over the tax change's impact.

Well done to the Times newspapers for pursuing an FOI application about the real circumstances over the abolition of tax credits to pension funds. I guess the Treasury didn't want an embarrasing court battle. But alas, it was all the CBI's fault.
