There could be a cut off date. Any non private sector employee who was taken on after May 1997 is expropriated. After all lots of private pension provision was expropriated in 1997 so nothing can be claimed to be sacrosanct. Those who abolish the rules must learn to live without them.hatfield girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673905475452420002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951383775805178587.post-81105278300592119412008-06-27T17:27:00.000+01:002008-06-27T17:27:00.000+01:00If my local council is anything to go by, most of ...If my local council is anything to go by, most of the "ills" work for them.<BR/><BR/>Or not, as the case may be.<BR/><BR/>On any day, 1 in 8 of the employed workforce are off sick.<BR/><BR/>Is it any wonder that Council tax has doubled under Labour?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951383775805178587.post-46248108600300888372008-06-26T14:11:00.000+01:002008-06-26T14:11:00.000+01:00The council should change its name to Macedonia......The council should change its name to Macedonia...<BR/><BR/>There is no accountability in local government because all the policies are set by Westminster.
