Economic crisis - In Newcastle, in the North East of England, one in three workers is a civil servant. The city has been particularly hard hit by the economic crisis and resulting cuts to public services. In this city already affected by unemployment due to the collapse of traditional industries, FRANCE 24 went to meet locals who are steeling themselves for even harder times ahead.

Maybe if they got rid of some of these non-jobs:
Nottinghamshire NHS: ASSISTANT director of equality and human rights, salary up to £77,179 a year. 'Acting as our champion on equality, diversity and human rights, you will work in collaboration with our external partners to develop and co-ordinate strategic policies.'
That's 4.5 newly qualified nurses. LOL
I suppose we should be thankful they didn't split the job into 3 posts, 1 for equality, 1 for diversity and 1 for human rights.

First of all, holy shit that James kid has a job?!?!
Secondly, pensions are stupid. I'd rather just extra cash in my paycheck. I'll worry about saving it myself.

These civil servants need to realise that H.M. Treasury is bankrupted, & just because they're on the government tax eating payroll it doesn't make them a privileged group that's entitled to an cushier life than the rest of the tax paying public working in the private sector that actually generates the wealth that funds their pay packets.
