Speaking as someone trying to find the money to pay my council tax this month I was amazed to read that £1 in every £5 of your council tax goes to fund the public sectors gold plated pensions. I’m not against people having pensions, the moneys got to come from some where. But 20% of my council tax bill? No wonder its so bloody high and set to rise further from April to over £1400 a year.
These pensions are suposed to payout better than an equivalent job in the private sector. Talk about milk it….
All this while the Labour government try to divert attention from their own failings for the banking crisis by telling useless ex Royal Bank of Scotland boss Sir Fred Goodwin he should give back some of the £640,000 a year pension he wrote into his contract. He’s drawing on it already but he’s only 50. He’s also getting it from the tax payer now, via the massive bank bailout from the government. Massive pension deals like this are the fault of the government for not scrutinizing the banking system properly.
The next UK election is way to far away for my liking.
Leave a reply to Council tax – £1 in every £5 for pensions.
