Gift of Christmas Spirit from Your Government

How typical the news that has come out about service and NHS pensions, you are not telling me that some one has just found this out, some body somewhere knew this,and thought it would not have been found out.
This is going to devastate pensioners as to how they will manage next year, they are finding it bad enough as it is,I phoned the Crawley office to find out if I would be affected by this, but no, I am lucky not to be affected by this problem.
How magnanimous of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to say he will not take it all at once, excuse me what about the bankers who have been bailed out, and they have gold plated pensions, but ex-service no, as with this government service personal are only good to do the dirty jobs, just so politician can take the glory, like SAVING THE WORLD.
When are we going to have people in charge of this country who respect and honour democracy, these people who put their lives on the line can be left to beg, while most of the MPs have never been in danger, only from a bad tempered dog.
When will we stand up and say enough is enough, stop paying out for families in other countries, remove all prisoners in our jails who entered this country illegally, back to where they came from, no way should we be paying for their keep.
Stop paying all these so called consultants, who have cost millions of your money, like the examination papers, computers for hospitals, which failed, this list goes on and on.
What else is going to come out of the wood work, please do not hold your breath, as we may find that what we have in our pocket is not worth the paper it is printed on.
Enjoy when you can on little money you have.
