A) your link lead to a series of links, rather than something that specifically backed up your assertions

You can think what you want Hugh. Like I said the FACTS are there, and you can believe them or not.

The FBU don't want industrial action, it would be a last resort. They want a negotiated settlement based on FACTS. So it would be rather stupid of them to enter negotiations with fantasy figures.

You are assuming that all companies make big profits.

Open your eyes, the country is in a mess, and companies are struggling :rolleyes:

It appears to be stating "everyone will retire at 68, except firemen, who will retire at 60" - am I misunderstanding something?

Yes you are

Alan, in a previous thread you were trying to tell us that you were high management for a huge company...you have just blown that idea right out of the water.

Don't forget, any nasty evil companies who refused to hand over all their dividends would be immediately "subject to Iran like sanctions blah blah blah....." :rofl:

In a world government, companies will either be state owned or co-operatives

There is something wrong with many companies....it's called lack of profit due to the recession...or isn't there a recession in your fantasy world?

I know there is a recession, the worst since the 1930s and was cuased by the rich themselfs (and the high risks they took and the economic system that benfits them)

My plan can be done with tax rises and a crackdown on tax evasion and avoidance

Apparently I just don't get it.

Well I'd be severely worried about my sanity if any of his 'arguments' made sense to me... :rofl:

Anyway his reluctance to redistribute some of his wealth to the poor are duly noted and should be borne in mind each time we're subjected to one of his sermons....

Alan, in a previous thread you were trying to tell us that you were high management for a huge company...you have just blown that idea right out of the water.

So are all the pension companies (Teachers, NHS, Local Government) and Unite (and Unison, who say the same thing on their website) lying? Because their facts appear to contradict the FBU facts.

So I am misunderstanding the 60/68 statement - can you help clarify it, please - will firemen retire at 60, or not?
