Daily Star: Leader: Potty on pensions

DAILY STAR SAYS

COUNCIL tax has more than doubled during Labour's 11 years in power.

And yesterday, campaigners from the Taxpayers' Alliance highlighted one reason for the mega rise.

Gold-plated pensions for town hall workers eat up £1 out of every £5 we hand over.

And the bill is getting out of control – rising by 13% last year alone.

Most private sector workers, meanwhile, are set to retire with far smaller pension pots to support them.

Gordon Brown bottled out of overhauling the increasingly-expensive public sector pensions for fear it would cost him votes.

It's yet another example of the man's glaring lack of political courage.
