Except quite a few of my work colleagues (they are no longer mates, they are scabs) worked, a couple of them because they voted no, didnt get their way so wouldn't support it. One even blamed the credit crunch and thus the poor economic climate on MY generation! :slap:
A 23 year old with his own 4 credit cards, a car and flat with absolutely NOTHING inside it that is
a) second hand
b) fully paid for
When I pointed out (and one of my colleagues pointed out a similar story also) that I owe no one anything, saved up for EVERYTHING except my car (bank loan) and house, had a second hand settee, telly, cooker and bed in our first house and have only ever used a credit card once then cut it up he didnt believe us.
What a dick.

Now, today on the news David Cameron has called the strike 'a damp squib' then later Theresa May was slating strikers for disrupting the country costing £millions. So which one is it? Proof if ever needed that the fookin Tories couldn't run a piss up. Two very senior ministers stating the exact opposite on the same day. >:( >:( >:(
I would like to put one piece of propaganda to bed for you all. There is a myth that public sector pensions are 'gilt edged'. Well, if I make it to 66yrs & 7 months I will get, after 24 years less than 5k a year, and that by then is likely to be offset against any state pension if indeed it exists at all by then!
Fact is, our scheme is so poor I along with most of my colleagues have either left it or in my case am about to. And Cameron and his multi millionaire shitbags non of whom these proposed changes will affect in the slightest want us to pay in more for longer to receive less!
