UK Public Employees Drain Citizen Income to boost own Pensions

1984 | 19.12.2005 05:29 | London

UK pressure group 1984 has evidence that public servants are stopping people getting benefits and tax relief to raise money towards their own £800 billion protected pensions. British private workers have been told to work until they are 69 to pay for the public pensions of those who can retire at 60

Almost 6 million public civil servants in the UK have been granted inflation proof pensions at 60 with a bill of £800 billion to be paid for by making 18 million private workers, work until they are 69.

New evidence shows that the British Government cannot pay this bill, so public staff in Benefit and Tax offices are stopping working people getting money they are owed to make sure there are sufficient funds to pay for the public employee pensions.

The biggest culprit is the British Tax Office, the Inland Revenue which is ignoring Government tax benefits granted to encourage citizens to invest in research and other under funded areas. The Government is telling people to invest and then an Inland Revenue Department, lead by civil servant Peter Frost, creates ficticious rules to stop people receiving those benefits. Other Government Departments lead by civil servants with high pensions in danger of not being funded, then work to help Frost and co stop the relief.

Now 1984, an anti-big brother pressure group, has had a top civil servant confess to the actions of the small number of tax staff but added to the furore by saying that benefits funds from old and poor people are being held back by civil servants who deliberatly create beaurocratic mazes that stop claims.

1984 are a group of 1500 benefit claimants and tax payers in the UK who have been denied legitimate income by public servants.

"1984 are a group of 1500 benefit claimants and tax payers"
How about "1984 are a group of bizarre fantasists..."?
Do you really think that front line staff in tax and benefits offices have the power to stop your benefits so it goes into their pockets? Get real!

What evidence????

Just where is your so-called "evidence" that this is going on? In reality, public sector workers wages have been held down below the level of the private sector for decades - in fact they have been subidising, through their crappy wages, the services that people like you have been leeching off for years. For many of these workers, who may earn as little as £12,000 a year, the occupational pension, which they have paid into and contributed to all their working lives, is the only thing that makes working in such violent, high-pressure environments tolerable.

Get a life, or more preferably get a job and stop being such a drain on all the tax-paying working people in this country.

Get a job


1984 and Doublethink

1984 appear to have taken on board my ideas about misrepresentation and propaganda.

If you are unhappy with private pensions, then join a union, organise and fight to improve them. They are only lower than the public sector (unless you are a fatcat boss) because the workers LET it be so.

Blaming public sector workers for the greedy plundering and neglect of private pensions is beyond stupid.

If you are unhappy with the state pension, then organise and campaign for the government to do something about it by, say, TAXING THE FUCKING RICH, or at least closing the £2 trillion in loopholes they currently exploit.

But no, what does this rabble of doleys and Daily Mail reading "taxpayers" do? Blame the workers!

Doubleplusgood, comrades! Big Brother would be proud.
