LeazesMag 0 Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 haven't heard anything about it so far.........thought it would have been discussed on here. Being Tories, I expect they will tax everything in sight apart from income tax. Any news ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeazesMag 0 Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) Fact is anyway, it isn't the public sector workers who caused the current situation, so why should they pay a price, but I suppose that won't matter to your opinion ..... Call it a premium for their job security. well. There is nothing to stop anybody from applying to get into the public sector is there ? I find that people who spout this sort of thing are victims of the green eyed monster, or even wearing rose tinted specs about being employed in the public sector. To repeat, the current situation was not caused by public sector workers. Typical tories, they blame anybody but the rich and put up anything but income tax to upset their already rich "friends".......nothing changes with them.

ewerk 27239 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 The public sector employees' bosses are making cutbacks and so wages have been frozen, the same happens in the private sector. Plenty of people who didn't cause this financial mess or facing wage freezes or even out of a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Exactly - all I 'm asking is that the public sector shares the pain The private sector, in general, makes the cash that the public sector spends - nowt wrong in that - its the basis of a civilised society - but you have to have some balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
