Surprise surprise, it seems that leading experts amongst m'learned friends don't think that McBroon's got a snowball's chance in hell of clawing any of Fred's pension back if he wastes yet more taxpayers' money going legal. The Fuckwit was only spouting hot air to grab headlines and be seen to be getting on with the job of running round like a headless chicken.
However, Lord Myners is in some difficulty, as the exchange of letters clearly shows. Sir Fred is obviously annoyed that his telephone conversation with Lord Paul has been published, and has given him both barrels.
Now, either Lord Myners is complicit or incompetent. And given his background and experience, he should not be ignorant of the legal framework of pensions.
However, luckily for the taxpayer and Gordon, there's always the David Kelly precedent. If I were Sir Fred I'd have a package left with my solicitor in case I fell of a mountain a la Robin Cook or were to be found in some woods with a pen knife.

Brown renews banker pension plea
What the hell do they mean "renews"? He only started making a fuss yesterday. This is just the BBC keeping the 'Brown of the people' angle going for an extra day. Wankers.
