I haven't read all these replies but here is my view:

I disagree with the striking... at the end of the day the public sector (STILL get good pensions... even if they do have to add more into the pot). At the end of the day... you're getting it back + government final salary contribution.

Private sector... well... we are getting f**k all at the moment... no contributions and no decent pension plans. So... if your willing to oppose my view then go for it... but i guarantee i'll have a better argument.

Solution... The last government employed FAR too many public workers and initiated stupid job roles. Over 1 million jobs were created during the last government to which ALL these people are entitled to the healthy pension. Well... get rid of all these jobs and this will free the money for essential services such as teachers, nurses, border staff etc.

Let me throw up another arguement...

Instead of the government asking for a larger contribution to the pension they actually reduced your wages by £2,000+ a year... This is probably what should be done to keep all public sector people in work. I could understand people kicking off then.

Stop complaining about your bloody pensions...
