Well maybe they believe that the pensions they signed up to

as part of the package they agreed when following this particular career might not then be reduced at a later date, or require additional payment, or lengthen your working life by six years. Working in the public sector is not a licence to print money - FSP schemes incentivise working in jobs that many think are beneath them.

Maybe they think that just possibly, the Tories' determination, on ideological grounds to follow a two-step strategy of baseless slander followed by evisceration of the public sector isn't actually f**king necessary given the opportunities that have not been taken to effectively penalise and regulate the banking sector.

Maybe they feel there are some principles at play here.
