Stan Tamudo Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I would like to know how many of the "50,000" there today were private sector workers. And how many were net contributors to the exchequer. My guess would be 5% and 0.005% Can't you find out on twitter? ---------- Post added 29-09-2013 at 22:43 ---------- The public sector's "hard fought gains" are at the expense of us, the hard-working private sector tax payer.

Mister M Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 The public sector's "hard fought gains" are at the expense of us, the hard-working private sector tax payer. "Us", whose "us"? I thought that you've worked for the public sector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky_Gibbon Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I had to pass through Manchester today and had to avoid a demo. It looked huge, we didn't really see the main part of it, but must've been about 50 thousand people there. What were they demonstrating about? I'm surprised that I didn't hear anything on the news. It was mainly a demonstration against the quiet privatisation of NHS services going on at the moment and most of the people there were NHS staff. And as for why the media decided to pretend it wasn't happening? Well the excuse of the BBC Chief Political Correspondent was that the conference security told them they couldn't film it (which G4S have denied) which is frankly a crap excuse considering the BBC News headquarters are in Salford. It took thousands of tweets directed at the BBC and several hours to get them to even admit that something was happening and even then it was only 30 seconds. ---------- Post added 29-09-2013 at 23:00 ---------- The public sector's "hard fought gains" are at the expense of us, the hard-working private sector tax payer.

It has already disappeared from the front page of the website. The footage of the soldiers inside the conference who heckled Phillip Hammond, failed to show them getting ejected. The Sky News website has it all though. Pretty spineless stuff from the BBC. And disgraceful conduct from the Government too. ---------- Post added 29-09-2013 at 23:04 ---------- I would like to know how many of the "50,000" there today were private sector workers.

At least they contribute, unlike the public sector lot who just take take take, then moan that they haven't been allowed to take enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
