I am fed up! Listening to Public Sector pensions I now have to work until I am 66 It's alright for white color workers sitting at a desk reading emails! They are not riddled in muscular pain (through competitve work strain) having to wash and dress contracted, fighting psychogeriatrics. Typical, the usual uniformed services get out of it, Fire,Police and Army which happen to be higher paid anyway This Government want us to die before we pick up the pension. They don't hassle benefit fraudsters, and people who don't start work until they are gone 25!

Aww, that's terrible. I think nurses and medical personnel are treated very unfairly considering the fact that they save so many lives every year. Don't give up though- things may well pick up, but it will have to be given time. It makes me wonder once again why the vast majority of our politicians and powerful people are the same generic sort of person- indifferent, dim and should rethink their policies.

Governments, once they're in seem to be all same A lot of places in Sheffield are under pressure of closing down with counsel cuts, even places I go to and help may not be here next year under NHS leaving lots of staff jobless. A lot of homes have also been pulled down in some estates ready for the building of new homes, but just left to rubble fields with scatter of homes which poor seem to be homed or old people refusing to move out when they started to pull them down around 5 year ago and looks a mess. Also most estates too are turning to drug's and crime for cash and turning most low post code estates into teen gang war zones, with knife and gun related incidents, even death which never gets put in papers or news cos of there age. I find it hard to that government are giving away billions upon billions to other countries when they saying we have to cut, so I wonder where they're going to get cash from to give to them. Then there's fraudsters which may also get away with stuff cos of cuts from police or the young not so experienced doctors are wrongly placing ill people in to work cos they're only following notes on cutting down on people they see with out testing them or looking up medical evidence from there doctors, that's in your life's doctors journals or drugs you take, then you take them to tribunal and in most cases win if you have a key-worker and there old-doctor and psychiatrist, which could then end up getting a big grant from winning so government lose more. Right now the government are making a big mess they will never clean up and making us work longer till we drop maybe planned from the start like a list of other stuff they trying to do.

This is a return to the Victorian era with a little of the American system thrown in.
If you take notice of history the cycle resets itself and starts again. The best time for the working man was 1955-1967. Castle then introduced productivity and things declined evermore from there.
The Banks and the Financial institutions caused this whole mess. The Taxpayer bails them out and we expect them to behave. Nieve is the word...dumb and nieve. It is kind of like giving a Gambling addict £1,000 next to Ladbrookes and expecting him to have £1,000 at the end of the day.
Social housing was scaled down from the early 1980's when Thatcher turned all the cloth caps into property owners. Councils were and still are not allowed to touch the funds created by THE RIGHT TO BUY. It did for council tenants and now we all pay the price...unless you come from an Eastern European nation.
Pensions are the biggest scandal. People paid into a pot with the promise and guarentee of a pension for life from the age of 65 and now Government tears up the contract. It is kind of like an Insurance company saying, you paid your premium but hey hard luck we ain't paying out. In the public domain an insurance company would not get away with doing what the Government is doing...However, we are all blinded to this. We are side tracked into diverting our attention to other things.
Benefit fraudsters would be totally eradicted with a State Biometric ID card.
No ID card = No Job, No medical, No Benefit, No vote...but if Government actually got rid of fraudsters look how many people would be unemployed, all benefit investigators for a start. The ID card would also eliminate illeagal immigrants and those who wish to live outside the system but take all the benefit of it.
Not all those on benefit are scroungers and don't live as well as the media portrays.
I myself am disabled. I am crippled and suffered a Pulminary Embolism as a result of poor mobility...today I am alive only by sheer luck. My right lung is dead and I need 13.5mg per day of Warfarin to stop another blood clot...which will kill me. I have a Wife and Children and I don't know if I will be here to watch my children grow to adulthood.
I receive my Benefit from my continuous stamp contributions of almost 15 years. I do not receive free NHS treatment for teeth, eyes or prescriptions. My benefit is also subject to income tax...yes you heard right I STILL PAY INCOME TAX. This puts me below the Income Support threshold but they say tough, you worked.
People are being brainwashed into persecuting those on benefit but you know what...when Government kills it ask yourself about your own safety net should you fall on hard times...remember those that today complain about people like me are cutting their own throats for tomorrow.
People like me did not cripple the economy...we contributed to the economy until illness forced us out. Some still contribute, like me, through taxation.
Still complain well I would welcome anyone to exchange conditions for a week....you cannot determine a scenario until you experience it for yourself.
We are being led to ruin and we will suffer. This country still has vast wealth untapped and untouched.
