Public Sector workers laughing all the way to the bank

Cos I found a job close to my home, that I enjoy.

Why don't you get a public sector job?

I have one, I just get fed up with people moaning about the lower pay than the private sector.

In a choice between pay and happiness, money loses every time. If I wanted more money I'd be in the private sector, I was just pointing out that public sector does not mean raking it in.

Massive costs could be saved by outsourcing great chunks of it to callcentres & backoffices in India.

Why do people keep feeding this troll thread and its Sunmailite bias?

I would credit even the average right wing ranter on here with enough grey cells to see its deliberate and fairly worthless AlfGarnettry.

For God's sake, give it a rest... or at least come up with a less chav comic 'debate'.

all public sector workers should pay 80% tax on ALL of their over inflated salary for a job that doesn't need doing.

public sector workers = lazy money for nothing scum, who collect an iflated dole payment each month to keep the unemployment figures artificially low.

however many of these cretins exist, they could be cut by 50% and the public wouldn't even notice.

some public sector workers are literally paid to do nothing. they just turn up and get paid. lunacy!

You really are vile... such venom in your posts.. what a sad person you must be in life.

Hmmmm.

The article refers to Bricklayers, and shopkeepers.

Two professions which are mostly self employed and directly effected by the recession, unlike health service managers or policeman.

I'd like to know how the ONS figure it out. If a self employed bricklayer made 40k in 2006, but made 25k in 2008 due to house building all but stopping, do they class that as a pay cut?

If so, it's a ridiculous way of comparing the private sector wages with the public sector wages.

The private sector will always take more of a hit in recession times. But on the contrary, they will always take more from a boom too. It's just the way it goes.

It is however a great way to divide and conquer, turn the people (private sector and public sector workers) against each other by saying one gets more than the other. Is it an old fashioned notion that regardless of who/where you work for we all pay tax for the public good, to improve the lives of all who live in the UK (be they legal or not but that's another arguement). Surely it is time the politicians were put back in their place and stopped playing silly games and govern the country like they are paid to in the way the majority see fit, or is this country too far gone for this to happen?
