Comments on: A bit of a foul-up http://davidjonesblog.com/2010/02/02/a-bit-of-a-foul-up/ Conservative Member of Parliament for Clwyd West Sat, 26 Nov 2011 13:04:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: dan* http://davidjonesblog.com/2010/02/02/a-bit-of-a-foul-up/#comment-3006 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 22:47:13 +0000 http://davidjonesblog.com/?p=4586#comment-3006 The CBI director recently commented on the next govt ‘Getting a grip on public sector pensions’
By ‘Getting a grip on public sector pensions’ I take it he means rob them. All this talk of pensions ‘Apartheid’ and problems with social cohesion caused by public Vs private sector pensions is a smokescreen for the real apartheid – the ever growing difference between the rich and the poor. The real problem we are facing is an ageing population – The baby boomers have had all the advantages and want to leave others to face the costs. If wages for teachers, nurses, doctors and social workers are frozen for long enough they become undesirable professions to enter into. The rich and powerful are unsurprisingly unaffected by this and therefore don’t really care!
It will be ordinary people who lose out as they seek to protect themselves at someone elses expense.

The next government and the taxpayer will have to worry about it.

Accepting the fact that the figure quoted is wholly inaccurate, £600,000,000,000 is not odd . . . it’s worrying!
