No you didn't mention the LGPS. BUT - we are part of the public sector, and you said it was a shortfall on 'public sector pensions'. It's just one area of public sector pensions that have a shortfall.
I just get a bit fed up with being lumped into all the 'gold plater public sector pensions at taxpayer's expense' and 'way above inflation public sector pay rises'!
I never say that. But we will benefit hugely from an NHS pension, I won't hide that.
I don't think it would ever have been the big topic it is, if he hadn't been for the demise of private sector defined benefit pension schemes 25 years ago. That's a whole other topic including criticism of politicians.
