Poor old Robert Maxwell had to walk the plank for doing on a much smaller scale what the government has done with Teachers pensions. Perhaps (you're a lawyer Richard) you can explain, how the hell they get away with it.

They should be called to account. I'm not sure strike action is the way. They should be challenged in the courts. Its not right.

For example, when I started teaching - I was told I could claim a pension from the age of 55. At twenty one, the age of 55 is as remote as the planet of Jupiter - so I didn't pay much attention when I was told that Heath government were paying below the legal return on an investment, for our pension fund.

When I got to 55. I found that sometime in the interim, they had put the age of claiming the pension up to 60. I mean - that's five years money they did me out of. How are they allowed to do this?

When i enter into an agreement, I can't change what I've agreed to pay out, just because it doesn't suit me.

Reaction has been a long time coming. I think maybe because more of us are surviving to claim our pensions. But i still don't understand it. Can anyone?
