Public sector retirement age increasing to 65

For once, the Labour government is trying to do the right thing!! It wants to raise the reitrement age for council workers to 65, the same as most private sector pension schemes. Naturally, the large public sector unions are up in arms (An indication that this is a sensible move) due to it's unfairness. The vast majority of private sector taxpayers who guarantee such pension schemes should go on strike if these reforms do not go ahead. The Labour government raided private pensions a couple of years ago when they removed the Dividend credit, it seems only fair therefore that public sector workers should share some of the burden of the pensions crisis too!!

Incredibly, I wish John Prescott the best of luck with his bold reform!!
