Commutation Factors Compensation & GAD |
TPR – Fighting Talk. |
The Pensions Regulator in the form of Ms. Lesley Titcomb has finally come out of her corner swinging with some commendable down to earth fighting talk. It must be said that this is very encouraging and not likely to make her ‘popular’ with the pensions financial sector. But she was not put there to be popular she was put there to safeguard our pension Scheme amongst many others. It is to be hoped that she will be rather liberal with her dainty but deadly size 6,s because outside in the real world there are plenty of rogues and layabouts like Clerk Warren well deserving of a good kicking… This is what she had to say for herself. Go Here. |
The £8mil Woollie Blunder ? – 'Workie'. |
Well, what is there to say that has not already been said by the baying mob from the tabloids but whatever way you look at this it costs £8mil at a time of imposed ‘austerity’ for a ‘creature’ that could have been stitched up in a sweat shop somewhere 'for a couple of quid mate' . But of course this would ignore the publicity boys and girls with their fat fists in the honey pot for all the graffiti that they will litter the countryside with in the months ahead. However, though it may not directly affect Firefighters and their current pension schemes it carries the message to the members of their families that they should get themselves in a pension scheme early in their working lives; learn how it is supposed to work; and regularly ‘police’ those who are supposed to be looking after their personal investment of a life time, secondly only to having a permanent home whether morgaged or not. If it is operationally a little boring in the wee small hours and the need is to bumble the lower lip .Go Here. or if you are in a desperate hurry for this thrill ? Go here.The dog actor was good though… |
