SIR – As a pensioner, in reply to Mr P Hadfield’s letter (T&A, October 27), I would ask him who, after being re-elected as Prime Minister, immediately after his first budget, removed an allowance to pensioners to reduce Council Tax? Mr Brown.
Who sold the gold reserves (at the lowest price)? Who raided the pension funds? Who abolished the 10p tax band? Who took us into a war that we could not win?
Who increased the payments to the EU budget and at the same time agreed to a reduced rebate from the EU?
