Category Archives: State vs Private sector

When Gordon Brown raided and ruined private sector pensions, I don’t seem to recall the comrades at the BBC getting too agitated, can you? But now today, when the Government seeks to bring a degree on equality to public sector pension provision, the horror of it all. Lord Hutton was on Today and Breakfast News and was, as expected given a hard time by the BBC. On Today, they trotted on trade unionist leader Dave Spart (or something like that!) to whinge and bleat about the sheer unfairness of it all for his underpaid oppressed masses. He was careful not to attack Hutton per se but rather heap all the blame and guilt on the Conservatives. At every point on every issue, the BBC acts as a conduit for class war driven by the Left against the Conservatives and worst of all, the Conservatives do not fight back. The BBC seem incredulous that public sector workers must be treated the same as private sector workers – to the rest of us it is incredible that they aren’t already.
