Not really - it was just scaremongering. The policy would only affect people who had incomes over 50k. Yep it would only affect those with incomes of 50,000 or more. I appreciate that Gordon Brown when he was wittering on about the millions who rely on these credits and would lose out forgot to mention that minor detail in his attempt to scare people into voting for him.
