There is just too many working class people who believe they should live everyday of their life like an episode of come dine with me.
The government are throwing down pieces of bread and like suckers we (the working class) are all just running around aimlessly arguing amongst ourselves for every measly crumb.

This reminds me of last winter and the one before, when a few flakes of snow led to schools being closed because staff can't get in.
In other words, anything for another day off and who cares about the children missing schooling.
It's time teachers grew up.
Personally, I would like to see Teachers have to have 5 years work experience in "the real world" before becoming teachers. At the moment, coming straight from school, so many of them just haven't a clue what real life is like.
Get back to school you lazy lot!
As for the pensions, we who work for a living shouldn't have to subsidise your gold-plated pensions.

Can you provide me with evidence to back up your statement Reg Edit?
I can only presume you are talking about the 100k per annum bosses on a like for like basis (which seems to be the most ridiculous benchmark) and not the 18 to 22k that the majority of public sector earn without bonuses, shares, company cars, fuel cards, gym memberships and spire healthcare.
I hope your not talking out your HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT ;-)

Within a generation, we have found people looking down on working class people. It seems today that its trendy to turn the working class into "fly on the wall documentaries for the pseudo middle class to watch on their 50" plasma tv and sneer at them.
Sad really, but that's what happens when mass consumerism and greed hits the masses.
