It seems to me the rich getting richer, and the poorer struggling to survive.

Public sector workers are lower paid than there counterparts in the private sector, so that's why I think it's unfair.

Public sector workers get brilliant pensions compared to 90% of private sector workers.

The pay freeze only applies to those earning under £21k so its not targeting the lowest paid public sector workers is it?

Anyway its basically tough shit. Labour hired an additional 1m public sector workers. Quite a few of that number are doing worthless jobs, the country now cannot afford for them to be employed by the state just to keep them out of the dole queue.  Its harsh on those individuals concerned, who may well have been good at their jobs but the bigger picture is that the country as a whole cant afford it any more.

I've not had a pay rise for 2 years, probably wont get one this year and have a shit pension  Shrug

My job in the private sector is about 10 - 15k more than I'm on now. That's how it's unfair. Yet my poxy 3% pay rise/living allowance gets frozen. Cheers.

Ah true however I was just stating the Conservatives are known for feeding the rich starving the poor so it's hardly a revelation they are doing the same now?

Leave then. Get a new job. But then you'll be giving up the gold plated pension and long holidays you get, won't you.

Poxy 3%? Most private sector workers have been lucky to get any rise for the past two years.

There's not a lot out there is there? Yes I get the holidays, but I'd prefer to be paid to work during them!

Not a lot I can do about it now...anyone want the shirt off my back??!

Oh and the pension really isn't as good as people make out. Obviously the more you pay in the more beneficial it is.

Excellent. Another reasoned debate on how the rich are evil and the poor are honest. And how Labour are for the people and the conservatives are the devils incarnate.

private sector jobs used to offer some security at the expense of pay but with other perks.

its a shame for those people that its over, but the country is up shit creek. now public sector workers have to share the same readjustments is private sector workers have gone through and continue to go through.

I'm just happy to have a job right now.

Have you read the budget or just fancied a bit of sterotyping?

Trying to be as objective as possible it seems pretty balanced to me - Theres tax increases for the middle classes in cap gains tax, a levy on the banks, whilst the poor get an extra grand taken out of the tax system but may have some housing benefit taken off them


not a case of "feeding the rich starving the poor" at all.

You do realise that the young will be disproportionately hit by the forthcoming cuts don't you?
