Will you pay off deficit?

IN response to all the recent letters complaining about public sector pensions and the upcoming strike action on November 30, including the letter from Cllr John Walsh who is just trying to win votes from the private sector employees.
Let’s not forget we, the public sector, didn’t create these pensions, they were part of our employment agreements, so why, when the bankers make a massive cock-up, should we bail them out?
I will have to pay an extra £45 per month for the rest of my working life, which is also going to be increased by an extra three years if this government gets its way.
None of this extra money will be paid into my pension pot. It will all go to pay off this country’s deficit.
So to everyone who says our pensions are gold plated and that we shouldn’t be taking strike action, are you going to set up a standing order each month to pay off the deficit we have because of the greedy bankers?
Thought not.
