Is this it.... will Chris get what he has been crying out for.... the chance to be able to defend decisions rather than criticise those that do! -
The Two Tier Country We Live In....
31 May 2023 - 10:28 AM
I know its from the Daily Fail but thought there might be more comment on here about the scandal of the two tier world we live in and how one sector are getting richer at the expense of the rest...
https://www.thisismo...r-pensions.html
I particularly liked this paragraph....
There is a myth that public sector workers get more generous pensions in return for a lower salary. But that has not been the case for more than 15 years.
So many public sector workers are enjoying a double boost — higher salaries when they are working and better pensions when they retire.
Rebecca O'Connor, from the pensions firm PensionBee, describes the divide as 'pensions apartheid'. She says: 'I don't think a lot of the people calling for higher public sector pay know how generous the pensions they are sitting on really are.'
She adds: 'A huge pension inequality has been established. Not only are private sector workers far behind when it comes to pensions, but they are also paying more in taxes to help fund some of these generous public sector pensions that promise the world.'
Mike Ambery, of pensions consultancy Hymans Robertson, agrees. He believes it is unfair that taxpayers are having to foot the bill for expensive public sector pensions.
He says: 'It doesn't seem equitable at a time when inflation is high and people are finding it more difficult to cope.'
Where are all the socialists railing against this clear unfair treatment and wanting fairer treatment....
(doesnt affect me as I'll be hitting the now defunct cap before I retire if I go to state pension age, but I did think more youngsters would be up in arms about it!)

05 Jul 2023 - 20:10Sorry to bother you. I believe you worked for a hotel chain in London and previously had access to discount codes.
It’s a bit of a long shot and very last minute. But could you let me know if this is still the case.
I only ask as my part is due to go to London on Friday and the hotel she was booked into has canceled last minute.
Thanks
