Honest John Hutton's Handy Collapsible Pension Package

The high court has once again demonstrated its dangerous irrelevance to life in Tony's Choice Emporium by ruling that the Department of Work and Pensions Crisis acted unlawfully in dismissing out of hand a report by the parliamentary ombudsman. The report concerned people who had lost money because of the collapse of pension schemes in which they had been careless enough to invest; and, as is only too fashionable nowadays, the parliamentary ombudsman found that the Government was to blame, for giving out information that was "sometimes inaccurate, often incomplete, largely inconsistent and therefore potentially misleading". Imagine that. Apparently this constitutes "maladministration", even in Tony's Choice Emporium, where the Department of Work and Pensions Crisis has been known to put forward schemes for bribing city councils to reduce benefit claims, as well as for bribing doctors to keep sick people working. Imagine that.
