“I’m sure Trump is Buck’s role model.”

I can’t stand the man.

“I should think NI does know what it means, him having worked in education as opposed to a grifters occupation!”

The way you lot throw the term ‘gaslighting’ around suggests none of you know what it actually means.

“Ah, but that makes me an evil public sector vampire. Sucking the life blood out of the treasury!”

Daft comment and, anyway, NI, I’m the evil one, apparently. What it does means, however, is that you have no clue how much money the public sector really is sucking out of the treasury.

“I see he still hasn’t answered my question from Thursday!”

Forgive me, NI, but strangely enough your question hasn’t been on the list of my top priorities over the past few days. TW seems to think that his questions should also be on top of my priority list. Why don’t you remind me what it was and I’ll do my best to answer it for you.

“I suppose you will try to argue that this disgrace is the fault of the unions.”

Heath, one of my best mates from school became a GP. He retired at 60 on a pension of £48,000 a year, married to a GP who retired at the same time on the same pension. That’s £96,000 a year, which requires a pension pot of around £2.5 million. I don’t know a single person with a pension pot remotely close to that.

I also know a consultant anaesthetist, in his fifties, who has gone part-time and is enjoying playing golf as well as a consultant gynaecologist, in her thirties, who is doing a four-day week. We also have consultants who are retiring early because of having to pay more tax on their pension pots of over £1m.

Despite all of this, despite the horrendous public sector pension liability and despite the billions being thrown at the NHS you want to to blame me for voting Tory. Well, I agree with you. The Tories have failed miserably to address any of these issues along with all the other billions wasted. Had they sorted this out all of the pay rises could now be being met.
