There is simply not enough money to pay the ageing (State employed) population such a generous pension. Its not right and its not fair, but thats the reality and who brings it about isn't the real issue here, but when. Of course, Brown will want to hand Cameron the poisoned chalice who, in fairness, has called for this for quite a while now."
That is perfectly true, but part of the problem is that there are far too many people working in the public sector and the numbers are ever increasing.
In some areas 25% of council tax revenue is used just to meet public sector pensions. That is grossly unfair.
