There are already 12,000 retired public servants getting pensions of UKP 
50,000 or more. Each of those pensions would require a fund of
£1.7 MILLION in the private sector. It gets worse, there are *far* more 
baby boomers in the public service than in the private sector. A very 
large block of this group have grabbed all the top jobs in the NHS, 
LA's, civil service, etc.
*All* these people are millionaires, courtesy of the private-sector 
British taxpayer (and NO, public servants don't pay any actual tax).

The average public service pension is £5,000 per annum. The average 
private sector pension *fund* (and only one in three has *any* fund) is 
about £33,000. This will buy a pension of about £700 per year, that's 
per *year*, not per month.

Stupid socialist crap. Tony Blair is now worth about £14 million. Peter 
Mandelson has gone from a 2-bed flat (bought with an ?illegal loan) to a 
Million pound+ house in a nice part of London, and rubs shoulders with 
influential people like Nat Rothschild and Saif Gaddafi. Byers and 
Hewitt have been exposed on C4 as odious, lying money-grabbers. Several 
labour MP's have been jailed for fiddling their expenses.

No public servant knows what austerity is. Like the bloody Greeks who 
have 'retired' at 53 on a full pension, they don't know how 
feather-bedded they are.

And the reason ?. In 1997 the NHS annual budget was £33 billion, now it 
is £122 BILLION. Is the NHS *four* times better ?. NO. Most of that 
money has gone into *huge* pay rises, and a spending spree on a scale 
never before seen in any country. Staff were poached from all around the 
world - One african country lost *all* of its midwives when they joined 
the UK immigration bonanza. Many of these staff from Africa turned out 
to HIV positive - so they cannot work, but the 'European Human Rights 
acts' means they cannot be sent home, and instead they get 'free' 
retroviral drugs.

And remember, those huge pay rises, plus the grabbing of all the new 
'manager' jobs in the NHS has resulted in a unfunded pension liability 
of over a £1 TRILLION - and the baby-boomers are only just starting to 
retire.

The whole country is bust thanks to the idiots who voted Labour in 1997, 
2001 and 2005. Get used to it. The truth hurts.
