Letter: Punish Brown too
IF politicans are going to start punishing people who, without having committed a crime, have inflicted huge economic damage on the country, why stop at bankers?

What about those in Westminster who have wasted huge amounts of tax payers’ money and caused hardships on a scale that dwarfs even the mistakes made by Fred Goodwin? Why is it acceptable for politicians to escape scot-free?
The architect of boom and bust was Gordon Brown. He also lost the country billions by selling off our gold dirt cheap. On his watch, £20bn was squandered on the failed NHS computer system. So why, having betrayed taxpayers so, is he still Privy Counsellor?
Brown was on Desert Island Discs in March 1996. What a shame he wasn’t really “cast away” – we’d all be much better off now.

Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 06:06 PMWhy not go the whole hog and get Thatcher in the dock.She privatised everything to make money for shareholders and now look where we are, all of those Utility Companies hold us to ransom and put up prices every time the wind changes direction. And wasn't it Geoffrey Howe or Nigel Lawson who cost us £billions.
