You got anything else lined up? Sorry to hear that mate. I think another few people here will be getting their jotters soon again.
I'm sorry, but it's their wages and pensions, not yours. You hand over your tax money and it's in the hands of local or national government. If you buy a pair of trousers out of M&S as soon as you hand over your money it is theirs, not yours. The public sector is already being hammered, hence the strike action. It's a legitamite source of protest and they have every right to do so. They are paying the cost of other people's greed and mishandling of the economy so they should be out making a fuss. It's a pity more people in the private sector aren't doing likewise instead of voting for ****ing Labour and the Tories every four or five years. However, I digress. "They are not and should not be protected whilst the rest of the country picks up the bill." They are not being protected. They are being ****ed the same as everyone else. Someone said on here that the Daily Mail should not be used as a reliable source of information yet it seems certain people will believe any old right-wing bollocks that rag spouts. If events of the past few weeks have taught us anything it's that the newspapers are the playthings of the rich and powerful and they will blame all the problems THEY cause on any group of people they can, including public sector workers.
Oh ffs I know that and I wasn't saying any differently Mr knee jerk. I just wanted to point out for all those who think we're still getting pay rises - we're not. Oh, and stop saying private sector wages are frozen - some companies might have freezes and cuts but not all. It's absurd to think that the private sector is homogenous in its terms and conditions. Finally, Kim, sorry to hear your news and hope something tunrs up for you.
I think you are missing the point. The tax payer pays their pensions and wages. Anyway, we're obviously not going to agree, so I'll post some facts and leave it there: Pension costs today represent about 2 per cent of GDP - the entire size of the British economy. In 1980, the figure was below 1.2 per cent and in 1970 it was around 0.9%. The Government today pointed out these salient facts about who pays for pensions: When it started, members of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme put in the same as the taxpayer – 5 per cent each. Today, current members pay 6.4 per cent, with employers contributing more than double - 14.1 per cent; NHS employee contributions vary from 5.5 to 8.5 per cent, whereas the employer contributes 14 per cent; Civil Service employees contribute between 1.5 and 3.5 per cent, but the employer - that's you - contributes 19%. In the private sector, a contribution of 4 per cent from an employer is more typical. Read more: http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/...ctor-pension-contributions.html#ixzz1TmkuWgOQ
a guy i know is moving to oz and works for his dad, he is recommending me to replace him. one of the guys who we paid off earlier is now head architect at a company down the road from my house so i have given him a call and he says they are getting quite busy and if they start hiring he will come to me before advertising the job since he knows am pure gid Im not holding my breath though i fully expect to get **** all for at least 6 months. im going to be surviving on income from homers for the foreseeable future so if you know anyone who wants drawings for a house extension done...
I'd help you, but from my 4 years of college, I don't believe you can make an extension to a top floor flat Hope it works out for you If my work get rid of another technician it will be me. The other guy has just finished uni, on the companys expense, and I get paid more than him. My billability target for the year is 90%, but the last 6 weeks my actual billability has hovered between 10% and 30%
This. There useless. For a so called "great democracy" there both pretty limited, and more or less the same, couple of toffs who have never had a job in there lives or lived in the real world, i petty you
And the funny thing is they think they represent the country:lol: unless 99% of folks parents were millionaires, went to private school, etc which i somehow doubt
WTf does ideal mean? Your logic is screw everyone else bar, all about me, know one else. I don't want to pay taxes, fu..ck it, etc i can't think of the rest b.S you guys use, but you crack me up Capitalism has failed my friend, otherwise the banks would not have been bailed out, but guess what? the bankers getting millions, the poor getting poorer. But where do you fit in? you a millionaire? i doubt it. Capitalism & Communism are both flawed.
Every system is flawed, and do you know why? The answer is people. People are greedy and corruptable, it is human nature. As an ideology, Communism was a good idea but it was ruined by people.
