A sense of perspective require methinks.
The government is borrowing massively to help make sure people can eat, keep warm and have a roof over their heads.
An ATCO earning 3 to 4 times the national average wage whinging about the detail of his/her pension - when it will still be more than some working families live on collectively - is not going to have the politicians rushing to "save" them.
