Gordon Brown Introduced Free Bus Passes For The Elderly

[Gromit]

In a cynical ploy to woo elderly voters, the Labour leader brought in free bus travel for OAPs back in 2008.

Good to see that Boris liked the Labour policy so much, he is now claiming credit for it. Chalk that up ‘Tory lie of the week’.

I imagine those fact checkers will be condemned as lefty pink commies who are no better than they ought to be. :-)

so Boris said he was actually the one who took away the 24-hour Freedom Pass, but I misheard him? Right.

read the link from 237sj it says that Boris introduced the 24 hour freedom pass when he was mayor and his actual words where:
"Just to remind you that the the 24 hour Freedom bus pass was something that I actually introduced" - bang on 100% true so why are all the lefties having a fit?
