		<description><![CDATA[Public sector employees who have 'pension contributions' deducted at source, probably imagine that “they are paying for their pensions” when in fact, they are not contributing anything close to what it will cost to deliver what they will get as a pension. The reality is that their “contributions” just amount to them paying a form of 'forward tax' now but it will be future generations who will actually pay via then taxation for their pensions to be delivered in retirement.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Somewhere along the way, the "Opiate of the British people" became home ownership but the relationship between wages and property prices is has become totally silly. I can remember my Parents buying their first house in 1957, it cost £2,000, if we just took inflation between then and 2008, that £2,000 would have a 2008 value of £36,780 and having just done a web search the cheapest house in that road the 'depressed 2011 price' is around £300,000.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[John Hutton will not be bribed in this way and in inviting him to undertake the work, both Cameron and Osborne know that whether they like it or not, his report will be honest and he will be outspoken. Yes, using a former Labour Minister is a purely “political move” because by appointing a fiercely independent man such as Hutton, if the conclusions were considered “unfavourable” by public sector workers, then at least the Government cannot be accused of “being the Nasty Tory Party” trying to sneak through changes they intended anyway.]]></description>

Following today&#8217;s blatantly political “do nothing Budget”, the situation is far more serious, things have got worse.
