A Banker, a Teacher, a Daily Mail reader and a Tory MP are sat around a table, on which is a tin containing 10 biscuits. The Banker eats 9 of the biscuits. The Tory MP leans over to the Daily Mail reader and whispers 'That teacher is going to steal your biscuit'.

Indeed.
I was trying (badly) to illustrate my point of the public sector can enjoy many benifits over private sector quite a lot of the time for a bit less pay. IMO end of the day it's your career choice, don't like it stop ruining everyone else's day and find a job in the private sector (where funnily enough people are also getting laid off).
The only fiscal balancing this tory government is doing is increasing the wealth of the top few percent at the cost of millions of people's livelihoods
Government appears to be backing down. Good news
Not if you're one of the poor sods who is going to be forced to pay for someone else's benefits.
Really? So they aren't removing billions in deficit each quarter compared to Labour's spending plans?
I like
so true!!!An investment banker on canary wharf is running out to his 911 turbo, late for home. As he's closing the car door a lorry drives past and smashes the door straight off. When the police come the banker is ****** and blinding at the policeman about the damaged porche, telling him to do his job and catch the pleb in the lorry.
The policeman turns to him red in the face and shouts 'You bloody bankers are all the same, so materialistic! That lorry has torn your arm off and all you can think about is your porche!'
The banker, shocked, looks at the stub of his arm and shouts 'Oh bugger, My Rolex!'
Sensible comment from Danny Alexander.

What on earth does the recession have to do with it? We're talking about plans that will pan out over the next fifty years not anything to do with the current economic problems, either way.
The many years of pay freezes followed by sub-inflationary payrises, and the job losses, and recruitment freezes - they're the public sector taking the hit for the recession.
I agree with Clarksons sentiments.

The public sector is too large and as such too expensive. It's unsustainable. Recession or not, the point is we ought to get the budget to balance.
Arguably, they are the normalisation from Brown's spending splurge on borrowed money. There are no cuts from the average level of public services, it's just regression to the mean.
You silly sausage, you do know Clarkson earns in excess of 1million pounds a year dont you? He can take his sentiments and stick them up his arse the facist.
The trouble with our society is that the richest accuse the poorest of being greedy for wanting more than the most meagre existence.
I notice many of you with the most conservative views have pictures of flash cars in your sigs.
+1, people striking saying in interviews that private sector pay is higher than public sector so a good pension is neededto make up for it
When really
'Public sector workers earn an average of 7.5 per cent more than those in the private sector, new figures show.
As around one million of them tried to bring Britain to a halt yesterday, the country's leading economic think-tank revealed exactly how much better off they are.
Men in state jobs enjoy an average of 4.3 per cent extra and women earn an added 10.5 per cent'
topshot you should be called bottom shot because all you seem to want is a race to the bottom
And that's even after adjusting for age and qualification...
