I agree that they shouldn't just accept the new terms of their pensions, but its not right they are striking whilst the unions are still in talks with the Government

Personally I think that considering you're paying your own money into a pension you should be entitled to it when it's still of use to you. If you're taking care of yourself so you can live longer you don't want to live longer to work. Your quality of life would be so piss poor after working to 75 there would be no point in retiring.

oi, im a conservative lol

however striking is pointless if talks are ong, ing.

main reason of being a conservative voter: look at what the 13 years of labour has done for us

immigration out of control, more people refusing to work and just claiming benefits to name a couple

prime example of injustice in benefit land, "i served 4 years in the armed forces, fighting on the front line, when i left my local council said they will house me as im ex services (one of the many people they prioritise in) went for my housing interview and i was told that i didnt serve long enough to be entitled!!! so out of my 4years in the forces 2 of which were out of area in a war zone. and this was under labour government in 2007, yet imigrants get housed straight away. how does that work??

rank over, sorry peoples only just woke up  :laugh:

Don't get me started on the Tories  :angry:

As for the strike,I'm all for it.
My mum's a teacher and people don't realise how difficult it can be.
What I hate is how low and medium paid civil servants pay has been frozen, yet the bankers that caused the trouble got bailed out and are now getting bonuses again!
