How else do you expect him to fund the golden public sector pensions...? ;-)

Good move. The idea that wealthier pension payers should get a 40% discount off their tax bill whilst the majority get only 23% has always been perverse.

Are you suggesting the Express is not being entirely honest in it's reporting ? What will Dune make of that ?

Is getting rid of a tax break really a raid on pensions?

I guess he's attempting to find a youtube video in an effort to express his emotions.

It's and idiotic idea much favoured by Vince Cable. If this were to go ahead then nobody would save for a pension because there would be no point. Better to buy gold bars and live off the state if you ever retire.

If this is true then this comment sums it up for me,

 

'Never work, Never contribute anything, Claim everything you can'.

Good on the Express, nothing like a pre-emptive strike. I imagine all options to sort out the mess left by Labour have been considered, but the govt. need to know just how unpopular and ill judged this would be. Brown raided pension pots and forced many businesses to opt out of final slary salary schemes or close them all together. They should stick to cutting the waste in the public sector (including non jobs like badgerx16's)

Oooooh, you b!tch

 

How much will you get paid this month ?

Oooooh, you b!tch

 

You have complained before about how you have to do more work now due to cuts to staffing levels. I say good. Clearly you weren't doing a lot in the first place. As a tax payer why should I pay to keep people like you in half a job for a full time wage?

How much of a pay rise did you get last year and the year before?

 

I ONLY got around 4% each time.

I don't think you should count inflation on your JSA as a 'payrise'.

When was the last time you even managed 'half a job' ?

I am very grateful to the taxpayers for their contribution to my family's well being - thankfully that excludes you.
