Hutton said
I want the system to be fairer; fairer to scheme members themselves and fairer to taxpayers obviously.
Hutton is proposing to slash the pensions of employees in the most respected careers. They didn't abuse the God like power to create non-existent money out of nothing and deliberately inflate a credit bubble. They didn't gamble and lose in derivatives. They didn't get multi million pound bonuses. NO! They taught our children. They saved lives. They put out fires.
They will be asked to pay more, work for longer and if they live to retire then they will get less.
But there is another solution, that is so so simple, and as Hutton seeks, is fairer to taxpayers.
That simple solution is to BASH THE BANKS!
Get our money back from the banks. Take them all into bankruptcy. They are all bankrupt. Cancel all derivatives. The current banking system is a complete fraud. Start again. Create our own money. Stop killing old people by the LCP, and instead get people building, nursing, teaching, engineering.

Pension reforms: Public sector workers to pay more and retire later
Hutton review recommends nurses, teachers and other state employees lose final salary pension scheme and work six years longer

Six million public sector workers are to lose their generous final salary pension schemes and will have to work for up to six years longer under plans to ease the state's £30bn pensions liability.
A government-commissioned report by Lord Hutton, the former Labour pensions secretary, proposes sweeping changes to state pensions that will mean nurses, doctors, teachers, local government and other public sector workers will have to pay more into their pension pots, retire later and many will receive less when they do.
All state employees in the UK will be affected, creating the first legal basis for simultaneous strike action across the unions, who have universally condemned the report.
The Guardian has revealed details of the first co-ordinated strikes, which are already being planned for June.
Hutton told the BBC's Today programme: "I want the system to be fairer; fairer to scheme members themselves and fairer to taxpayers obviously. I want the reforms to address ... the rising cost of these schemes. I want to make sure we can deliver adequate good quality retirement incomes for public servant and on a sustainable basis.
