    Public Sector contribute 15% of salary to their own pension and then go on strike because they put money in their own pension.

    sorry. I am lost by this reasoning and more so by anybody who actually supports this lets hold the country to ransome attitude.

    are we the beleaguered PAYE private sector supposed to top them up ?

    GTF

    Ronald Reagan showed the way.


    you'd probably be aware then that the deregulation of the banking and investment sectors begun primarily during the Reagan and Thatcher years helped get us into this mess in the first place then? :rolleyes:

    Public sector have a deal on pay and conditions. That deal is then ripped up to find money to plug a hole in the public finances caused by Reganite deregulation of banking. And the response is to tell them to GTF?

    It astonishes me how people are unable to join the dots sometimes.

    I can join the dots. Its called capitalism.

    You may be confusing same with subjective idealism.
    Go on, look it up, you know you want to.

    Now back to the point, and politely as we are requested to, please run that one by me again....

    Bankers screwed up, so they should be made to top up public service pensions.
    Do I follow you correctly ?

    Assuming that is in fact what you are intimating, we will just have to agree to differ. Thank you for your contribution.
