Blame the bankers; YourSay.I WISH to pick up the quote attributed to me by Edward Chadwick ("Tory pension plan blasted", vox pop vox pop Noun Brit interviews with members of the public on a radio or television programme , October 8) because it has completely missed the points I raised. These were that it is appalling how quickly the Tories, and also New Labour, seem to have forgotten who got us into this mess. The totally discredited system of selfregulation was introduced as an economic panacea by the Tories and continued under New Labour without challenge. The proposition that nurses, people on incapacity benefit This is a United Kingdom state benefit intended for those below the State Pension age who cannot work because of illness or disability. The benefit is administered by Jobcentre Plus (an executive agency of the Department for Work and Pensions). and those nearing retirement should be expected to pick up the tab for these shocking failures, stinks.
