Thousands walked off the job over pension protests in England today. British teachers and public service workers swapped classrooms and offices for picket lines Thursday as hundreds of thousands walked off the job to protest pension cuts.
The government insists everyone must share the pain as it cuts 80 billion pounds ($130 billion) from public spending to reduce Britain's huge deficit, swollen after the government spent billions bailing out foundering banks. It is cutting civil service jobs and benefits, raising the state pension age from 65 to 66, hiking the amount public sector employees contribute to pensions and reducing their retirement payouts.
The government spent billions bailing out foundering banks which was a result of investment fraud and they spent billions on the fraudulent invasion of Iraq to find Weapons of Mass Destruction they knew were not there, and now the citizens have to give up their pensions to repay that debt. That is a crime against humanity. It is a fraud. It is a scam. It is a manufactured emergency.
