A lot of the pension whingers are just as bad.
If they haven't got a pension, they have no-one to blame but themselves for poor financial planning. If they have got a poor quality pension, they should be lobbying for improved ones. It's not a race to the lowest common denominator. Pension rights are not at the forefront of any youngster applying for public sector posts. The mealy mouthed criticisms are fueled by envy. Figured bandied about show that the average private pension is currently paying out more than public sector pensions.
Is correct.
The people who make me sick are the 1/3 of private sector workers who have made no pension provision other than relying on the state pension and then have the nerve to bitch about local authority workers asking their employer to honour a contract. At least they have payed into a pension, crap as it will be.
The Teachers, Nurses etc pensions will lift them out of the benefit level and they will get no help off the state. The private sector workers who have made no provision, will be subsidised by the local authority workers by these same benefits. Yet listen to them bleat on here about how they are being bled dry by the local road sweeper and his gold plated £4,500 pa pension.
We are all in the gutter being shat on by the government and their fat cat friends. The difference is that some of us are trying to stand up.
If you don't want to that's fine. Just don't lay there whining "I'm I'm being treated like shoot. you should be as well"
Oh and Crankarm, I dont know where you were standing mate but in Liverpool there was 15,000 on the march through the city center and unlike previous ones, the shoppers lining the route stopped and clapped us most of the way around.
Pip pip.
