Conundrum

Why is Gordon Brown ordering banks to punish the elderly & charities – among others – whose income depends on interest on their savings?

Because he wants to be the one who steps in to fiddle around & ‘give’ us tax credits & means tests & hand outs to control how we live?

Or does he somehow really & truly believe that base rate cuts can be passed on to borrowers but not savers
