MercenaryAli has pinpointed the cause of the problem.....G Brown and the Government he represents.

The G Brown tax raid of £5 billion and that's per annum, not total, is a major factor. Interesting, isn't it, how the total deficit in UK private pension schemes exactly equals the ammount grabbed by G Brown.

But it's not only Brown who should be guillotined. There has been complete and utter failure by this present Government to do anything to prevent the actions of greedy, lazy and incompetent employers. Those employers won't change their ways until legislation forces them to do so. This incompetent Government has shuffled along through shambolic paper exercises (eg The Pickering Report.....what a joke) and done nothing useful or productive. Nothing new there then!


The revolution can only happen if the downtrodden masses stand up for themselves. I'm doing my bit...........are you?
