The ELECTION - If you read nothing else - READ THIS

Please take the few minutes to read these few interesting facts about Mr Gordon Brown MP



We used to have six independent regulators to regulate the different divisions
of the financial services industry, including our Banks.


(In 1988 the then government, knowing what the unfettered banks could be like, bound the Banks in the Finance Act, a regulation to prevent them from being greedy and reckless with our money!)

Then Gordon Brown became Chancellor on 6th May 1997

Gordon's banker friends said "We want all these regulators to go" "We don't want regulators watching everything we do"

AND GORDON SAID OK

So, Gordon announced on the 20th May 1997 (2 weeks after becoming Chancellor) that the six regulatory bodies would be broken up and a new Financial Services Authority would replace them. The FSA had virtually no powers over the Banks and he also took away the powers from the Bank of England to enforce regulation on them.

The result is the devastation we are all suffering today.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We also used to have a 'Monopolies and Mergers Commission'

Then Gordon's friends in 'finance' said "We don't want the Monopolies and Mergers commission telling us who we can and cant take over"

AND GORDON SAID OK

So, in 1998 Gordon scrapped the Monopolies and Mergers Commission and created a replacement called the Competition Commission, with very much reduced powers and very different ideas of what used to be regarded as "Monopoly".

The result is the Massive Corporations we have today who are ruling and shaping our lives for their own greedy profits. Not to mention the massive Monopolies held by some of these corporations through the 'forced purchases' of all their competitors

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We used to have pension regulations, which for many decades had included something called "The Pensions Cap"
The pensions cap set a limit on how much pension any scheme member (including directors) could get from an occupational pension scheme, irrespective of how high their earnings were. It was there to protect the ordinary members' pensions. To prevent the all-powerful, fat-cat,directors paying themselves obscene salaries and then draining the pension funds with their huge pensions - more money than some earn in a lifetime!.

Then Gordon Brown's banker friends said that they wanted the pensions cap removing so that they could get pensions related to their obscene earnings.
(The whole Pensions industry gave him warnings of the effects it would have. Even the Inland revenue put forward objections)

BUT GORDON SAID OK TO HIS FINANCIAL FRIENDS
(Gordon never likes to disappoint his banker friends)

So Gordon took away the Pensions Cap in 2005 and then some of his cronies were able to retire from their boardroom positions with OBSCENE pensions!
For example Fred Goodwin was apparently entitled to a pension of over £700,000
If Gordon had left the pensions cap in place that would have been a mere £125,000
Well done Fred and your 'nest-feathering 'mates!

(The Superannuation Division of the Inland Revenue have kept a record of what it should be, in readiness for when we get a new chancellor who sees fit to re-instate it George Osborn has pledged to do that).

The record of Pensions Cap limits are available to view on the Revenue's website.

The result of this is that along with Gordon's "Tax Raid" on pension funds starting July 1997, over four thousand UK company pension scheme's have closed their doors to new members and many of them have had to close down altogether, leaving millions of workers without any pension provision.

This man Gordon Brown professes to be a 'socialist' and 'for working men
and women'. (But he doesn't seem to know who they are?)
The working people's main form of long term financial security had for many years been their company pension scheme, something to look forward to at the end of a life of hard work; their reward; a light at the end of their tunnel.

Gordon has put an end to that by destroying the most valuable asset
of the average British worker.

(This "Tax Raid" instigated by Gordon Brown and his cronies, in a secret hotel room, amounted to the theft of billions of pounds worth of the contributions (and the futures) of the many millions of hard working men and women of this country. His actions are comparable to the barbaric administrations of some African dictatorships)

IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST TRAVESTIES OF JUSTICE THAT THIS MAN WHO PRETENDS TO BE 'FOR THE WORKING PEOPLE' HAS IN FACT BEEN THEIR WORST ENEMY FOR THE LAST THIRTEEN YEARS AND WILL LEAVE A LEGACY THAT WE WILL STILL BE CLEARING UP FOR MANY YEARS TO COME. THE REAL INJUSTICE IS THAT ITS ALL BEEN DONE COVERTLY, IN AREAS WHICH ARE TOTALLY OUT OF SIGHT TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AND BEYOND THE UNBELIEF AND UNDERSTANDING OF MANY. THE MAN HAS RELIED ENTIRELY ON PEOPLES IGNORANCE OF THE FACTS TO GET AWAY WITH HIS (TO PUT IT MILDLY) 'INDISCRETIONS'.

GORDON'S MOTTO WHICH APPEARS TO BE : "DENY EVERYTHING AND ADMIT NOTHING" HAS BEEN WORKING WELL FOR HIM - SO FAR!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LASTLY, WHAT GORDON LIKES TO CALL THE "GLOBAL BANKING CRISIS"

Have you noticed that we were the first to be in it and are the last to be out
(and whether we are out is very speculative!)

As he has admitted, The Royal Bank of Scotland was the worlds biggest bank.
So when RBS and HBOS were about to go BUST in October 2008 and they had to be bailed out overnight so they did not take the entire country down with them.

(That by the way was almost certainly a decision made by the hierarchy in Whitehall for which Gordon loves to take the credit)

As the worlds leading banks now all lend money to each other on a colossal scale, isn't it obvious that the worlds biggest bank going down would have a devastating effect on all the others it dealt with. This "worlds biggest bank" had also sold bad (toxic) mortgage books to other banks.

Most of the Banks in Europe which ran into crisis were dragged into it because of the crooked dealings of our big Banks. A fact that both Germany and France were quick to remind Gordon Brown of at the G20 emergency meeting shortly after the crisis.

There are many other of Gordon's 'indiscretions', far too many to list here, but perhaps the few biggie's shown above will give some insight into how Gordon Brown operates.

By the way, have you noticed how he has suddenly become interested in Social issues now an election is looming and seems to be able to promise the world, when, as Alistair Darling put it a few days ago, there is not a penny left in the bank!

Think very carefully before casting your vote for this man (or any other party that might put him back in power) who is probably the most extreme capitalist of the past century while pretending to be 'for the working man'.

GORDON WORSHIPS THE SUPER RICH AND POWERFUL AND IS UNABLE TO SAY 'NO' TO THEM.


Please pass this on to as many friend and acquaintances as you can, regardless of their political opinions. The whole population should be in possession of these facts (officially known by all) before they cast a vote in this country's General Election.

No, and that's my point. It's not something exclusively confined to Gordon Brown, and actually applies more to the Tories, highlighted by their stances on inheritance tax (and which a number of the shadow cabinet stand to gain from personally).

The point is they can hardly hold themselves up as an alternative since prior to the banks collapsing they would have done exactly the same!

[ChorltonV]

All of which leaves you with one alternative. The future is looking Yellow.

Maybe they would..................But it was Gordon & his cronies hands that did the deed.

Nobody ever remembers the previous Govenor of Judea..............Only Pontius Pilate
