BROWN CAUGHT RED HANDED ON TV DEBATE

BROWN CAUGHT RED HANDED ON TV DEBATE

Gordon Brown has been caught red handed in the TV debates after stating
that he had never authorised a leaflet scaremongering over bus passes for
the elderly - when the claim is made on his own leaflet in Fife.

Challenged on Labour's scaremongering tactics in relation to concessionary
travel for pensioners Brown said "I have not authorised any leaflets".

His own leaflet in Fife states he will fight against "cuts to
concessionary travel".

The truth is the SNP has expanded the concessionary travel scheme to
include disabled veterans from April 2011 and has guaranteed concessionary
travel for our elderly in the party's Westminster manifesto.

SNP Westminster leader Angus Robertson said:

"Brown has been caught red handed in this debate. He claimed he did not
authorise the misleading and scaremongering leaflets yet there is one
going out in his own constituency.

"If he can't be trusted on his own leaflets then what can he be trusted on?

"All three London parties offered little to voters in Scotland tonight -
ignoring Scotland's huge potential in renewable energy, the toughest
climate change targets in the world and the presence of Trident on our
shores.

"The only alternative to the Westminster parties for Scotland's voters was
not heard tonight - but Scotland's voice will be heard on Sunday in a real
debate."
