  • Im afraid the only way to restore fairness and balance is for an armed insurrection in the UK. The old guard needs to be swept away and we can then sort out this self created free market quagmire we are all slaves to. When injustice becomes law its everyones duty to fight against it.

  • @TheCharleycat I think it's the principle of a mutual relationship - each partner (the employee and employer) get something out of it.

    The employer - receives money to invest initially - and potentially generate a greater profit

    Whilst the employee receives a steady flow of money - sometimes more than the amount they paid in.

    Like anything; things become a bit obscure when businesses go into administration. The same thing can and has happened to banks - but government bail then out.

  • Its so upseting to see this good folks who have worked treated so badly

  • Its really hard to watch this .. . .what a shame

  • Shame full-programme no-longer online; pitiful-return Welfare-Bucket [aka dole] way-better than wing-&-prayer final-salary... unlikely to be-paid-for by TAXPAYERS [including those currently 6yo at kindergarten].

  • @tullowhill

    of course banks are safe.

  • watchin :)

  • The nudity was a real curve ball. Did not expect that haha.

  • ur right about banks being safe..most of the time! But you don't get tax relief on contributions made to a savings a/c and any interest you make on it is subject to tax also so some people would argue a pension is a more efficient way to save for your retirement...I know what you mean though..

  • i guess,but that doesn't mean the people should use pensions
