Some really spicy findings in here Den

Quote:
Kinder: after 7 years of government austerity, public opinion shows signs of moving back in
favour of wanting more tax and spend and greater redistribution of income. We also find that attitudes to benefit recipients are starting to soften and people particularly favour prioritising spending on disabled people.

Divided: the country is however clearly divided by age and education on views about the EU and immigration; young degree holders are much more positive about both than older people with no formal qualifications.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

Has anyone notice a trend here.

MPs get 11% pay rise, and are bound to get another one soon, for sitting on there backsides

The Queen gets a very big pay rise.

And yet, the public sector workers ie Police, Nurses, Drs, Fire Service and Ambulance service are stuck on 1%. Where is the fairness there.

This Tory crap makes me vomit.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion

Papa, l don't find that comment funny.

I work on frontline policing. I got a 1% pay rise last year, and my rent went up. So bang went my pay rise.

My love my job immensely, and would not do anything else. I should have retired in December, but simply cannot afford to retire on the pension that l get.

I find it really distasteful that some members think that Public Service workers don't deserve more money.

I saw my colleagues come back from London fire, and they were totally knackered. I saw fire crews in the same phase. Every Emergency Service deserves more

I believe that the way the Conservatives are treating the public sector workers appalling.

Its true what was said tonight in Parliament. If TM and her sick government can give the DUP millions to keep her backside in No 10 then she can give the Public Sector an extra bit of money.
