    They'll just have to work another three years to pay for the fat cats in the government and the civil service with their gilt edged retirement nest eggs.

    Are those the same civil servants one Department of which just got a 3yr pay deal imposed on them that pays over 20% of them a 1% payrise in the third year with 0% in the other two years?:rolleyes:

    Yes but that money won't be used for that. Too bad!

    Yes I know. Will be used mostly to keep the banks liquid and hopefully get the govt some more £'s in stamp duty by selling a few more percent of houses.
