Them poor public sector pensions we are all paying for

GP on pension of £140,000 a year... while 20 others draw more than £100,000 each | Mail Online

A GP has retired on a pension of nearly £140,000 a year in a package worth more than £4million.
He is one of 20 family doctors with annual pensions of £100,000 or more, according to figures released under a freedom of information request.
This week the British Medical Association threatened to take industrial action in protest at plans to make doctors retire later and contribute more to their pensions.
But figures obtained by the Mail reveal that the pensions of GPs are among the most generous in the country.



You've only got to travel to find the only people sitting in the sun retired at 50 with a nice big villa and fat wallet are all retired public sector workers.

No wonder they all voted Labour all their lives.

Exactly the kind of outcome you'd expect when you get small private sector businesses to run public services.

We are all going to have to retire later. Besides the fact that we live longer, the government is inflating away debts thus reducing pension pots.

We are. ISTM that there are a lot of "them" out there who are not.

So they tried to dig up some big numbers for a sensationalist headline, but could only find 20 out of the thousands and thousands?

Yawn.

None of them public sector employees but small businessmen.

So how come they get a public sector pension then?

Because Nye Bevan had to 'stuff their [doctors'] mouths with gold' to get their cooperation in establishing the NHS.

GP practices are almost all partnerships, contracted by the NHS, but GPs get pensions.

Wasn't sas going to retire to a villa in the Algarve soon? You don't think he's a <gasp> sponging layabout civil servant do you?

I found this book pretty interesting: Confessions of a GP eBook: Benjamin Daniels: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

Don't see any reason a GP shouldn't earn as much as an IT contractor.
