I would've thought that the people who work in the Public sector actually see it for what it is, rather than 'told to me by a friend of a friend' or 'it was in the Daily Mail'. The nonsense is that a story comes out of one person playing the system and all of a sudden every Public Sector worker is responsible for the mess this country is in. I'd quite happily see the demise of all the politically motivated non-jobs that Blair and Brown introduced, to try and bribe the typical benefit form filling Labour voter. But it's easier to stimulate the mob mentality and point the finger at everybody from dustmen to detectives.
People have very selective memories. I chose a much lower salary when I joined the Police than what I could've got elsewhere. I did without the big yearly bonuses and heavily subsidised company cars and chose the 30 year option. I have a friend who earns significantly more than me, but pays hardly any tax thanks to his creative accountant. I think he's had it 'very good' for a while.
Now the financial industry (aided by the criminally negligent Gordon 'hate him with a passion' Brown) got us into this mess. However, all the people who had it good before the meltdown are now throwing their teddies out of the cot and stamping their feet complaining that the Public sector workers shouldn't have a pension.
