http://www.martintod.org.uk/2008/08/19/equitable-life-shocking/ A strong principled voice for Winchester Fri, 05 Mar 2010 07:28:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 http://www.martintod.org.uk/2008/08/19/equitable-life-shocking/comment-page-1/#comment-3281 Paul Braithwaite Wed, 20 Aug 2008 15:46:59 +0000 http://www.martintod.org.uk/?p=272#comment-3281 I'd like to thank Martin Tod for featuring our cause for Government compensation. The regime in power has no moral compass and this has been proved over and over by the keeping Equitable Life in deep field for seven long years. Additionally, the Treasury has formed the habit of rejecting Parliament's own Ombudsman's recommendations at will. ONLY the Lib Dems, under Vince Cable's constant vigilance, have been consistent in his support of the cause of treating Equitable Life sufferers fairly. This IS a vote-influencing issue for many. Pensioners have faired very badly under Brown's stewardship and it's overdue that the Government, having been found guilty of maladministration of Equitable by Lord Penrose, by the European Parliament and now the PO - must own up and pay up.
