SleepyJoe Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 40 minutes ago, BriT said: I think it’s clear that we will continue to get totally screwed over while government entitlements just get ratcheted higher and higher as inflation increases. The living wage is a classic example. Can you imagine them telling IOM gov pensioners they got paid too much is the last 5 years? They may well have told CS pensioners that they are being paid too much, but haven't found a way of doing anything about it Anyway, time Mr Thomas was appointed to the Economic Strategy Board - with only two MHKS currently on it, it's just not a democratic institution & has little credibility given the parlous state we are in The MLP with two elected MHKs should also have a seat on the Board 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may have gotten slightly closer to paying them what they are worth. A lot of them may well have struggled to meet the payments. If they’ve been duped by government then government should give them a tax credit to compensate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many will claim they struggled despite paying massive bonuses to C-level + shareholders? Tiny violin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been talk of the triple lock keeping up with inflation. So that would be a bumper rise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyJoe Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 So just imagine if they cancelled the triple lock for state pensions, but carried on paying CPI linked civil service pensions . . . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
