So a massive pensions scandal has erupted, and for the first time the majority of the general public is behind the govt. in baying for the blood of a dyed in the wool, bang to rights scapegoat.

Does no-one else think, and I may be reaching for my tin-foil hate here, that this is a very convenient way for the govt. to push through legislation that will make it easier to screw people (and by people I mean you and me, not just evil boogieman bankers) out of their hard earned pensions whenever they feel like it?
Does Brown really need legislation to do that?

We had a meeting, and decided on you ?

Now if you can get to the town square for midday tomorrow, we can get on with the task of pelting you with rotten fruit.
