Posts: 6,856November 2011 Do my head in, I have to live on a pittance, I get no free dinners, no bucket allowance and someones ate all the salt and vinegar crisps. If only I could figure out how to make photos black and white, I could be a professional photographer.

YOU DON'T F'KIN WORK EITHER! "Do us a favour love, pass that betting slip, I'm bloody shattered" -
Posts: 19,512November 2011 I can understand that people get p'd off when there's an attempt to unilaterally change terms... those pensions were worth their weight in gold. Problem is that the g'ment are making cuts and if they dont do it through things like the pensions, then they'll be doing it through the jobs.
Council workers I knew went on strike because of pay freezes or not enough pay rise. 12 months later, none of em there.
Sense of proportionality lackin. -

Posts: 6,856November 2011 I don't see why working for a council should automatically entitle you to a good pension. Most council workers I've dealt with have had the intellectual ability of a bag of Minstrels.

Have you been the tip? I took twenty bags of horsefeed there, the f'kers made me open them and tip all the contents into a green waste skip (about thirty feet high) so the bags wouldn't be recycled. Felt like booting the terwat. -
Posts: 19,512November 2011 Too many people doing too little for too much and complaining when they're asked to account for themselves.A lot of people promoted into positions above their skill set because they've been there long enough etc...Conscience v Truth

There was a black bloke in the Liverpool City centre office, I went in over them overcharging me for Council tax. I had to wait ages to see him and he couldn't even speak english. Ended up just paying it, it was easier.

Posts: 137November 2011 Just to clear something up... did anybody ever wonder where the government got the money from to bail the banks out???
The public services pension pot (without consent)
has anybody noticed how the government say that the public pension is a strain on the "taxpayer"?
at what point do people who are in the public pension stop paying tax? we are taxpayers too!!
also, the government say that our pensions are "gold-plated"...
the MP's get virtually the same pension package, but do we see them cutting their pensions?
last one, the government say that the country cant afford to pay our pensions
the pension pot takes in more money per annum than it pays out. It is actually a profit for the government (on top of any accrued interest)
I doubt that tomorrow's strike will have much impact, but if the government carries out it's changes, I think we can expect to see many more strikes, that last much longer than 1 day!
EDIT: Just to add... the government isnt looking to save any money. They are trying to cut the pensions (then sick pay, then holiday pay etc.) to make public services more attractive to private investors. This governement is determined to privatise the public services of this country. If people think that hospitals etc are run bad now, imagine what they will be like when money is the sole focus of the management boards rather than patient care. I certainly wont be ready to trust my life in the hands of somebody who needs to see "if they can afford" to cure me. -
