The fire service one is self funding and the Hutton report said as much and suggested we were left alone. The rise in payments of 3.6% for us is apparently going straight into the govt coffers rather than ours which is a bit off tbh

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR THE PENSIONS?

Ho I don't know.
More taxations on the stock exchange.
Less gifts to companies through tax breaks.
Increase VAT on electronic goods.
More tax on petrol.

Decrease the amount of money given to the MOD

Top up wages. Anything you ear above goes to the piggy bank of public funds.
Plus any public servant earns at least half of what he would earn in the private.
Do you really think you could do without a public sector...?

Yes - workers should have the right to strike.
And employers should have the right to fire them or change their employment conditions to reflect the economic situation they find themselves in.

er...
1) no, companies will just list elsewhere, and the major traders too.
2) companies will just shift their main operations elsewhere with more favourable tax rates
3) Ye-es, but it's not going to fill the gap
4) er... no - it's currently 2/3 of the price of petrol. It ain't gonna help.
5) Yes, perhaps, but the MoD was barely able to run sorties to Libya due to mis-spending of budgets. These are all things that take YEARS to solve any immediate problem with pensions.

But then those on the continent have a different way of doing things, eh? ๐Ÿ˜‰

Nice one, can employees do the same ? Due to various reasons I'm a bit skint and want less hours so I'll just work less for more . How's that sound ?

While were at it you know that mortgage I signed up for well I'm gonna pay 3% less for 5 years less seeing as how house prices have dropped.

That should be ok shouldn't it ?
