Not at all but it wasn't raised by the public sector. It came from tax revenues levied elsewhere on the private sector. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

My situation is passed by act of parliament and in law. My wife and I paid into the system for 35 years and still would be now if personal circumstances hadn't dictated .Your answer is pathetic, you sound like a discriminatory type and are cruel to think that way .Do you really think Linaker and all the rest of the over paid should get money like they do from public subscription TV and my wife and I should be left out because her health is in severe continual decline? I bet you backed government spending on all the public sector inefficient industries ,steel,gas coal telecoms electric etc etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
