We should be wary, but. Any review is going to be "managed" by the Sir Humphreys who have a vested interest. There is going to be a General Election in the next 15 months ( Zanu Liebour's 5 years expires on Thursday, 5 May 2010 ) and having built up the client state over the previous 13 years, they are not going to alienate all those public sector employees by seeking a mandate to trash their (our) pensions. Assuming Cameron gets the nod on 5th May next year, he is going to be so busy trying to find a way out of the dung heap that Bliar/Broon have created that he will not want to take on the Public Sector.

At present I think the bigger worry is whether the money will last until May 2010.
