Oh FFS, how am I meant to despise the Labour scum for nicking my pensions if the Tories then do the same!!
Look you foolish child don't you understandIf labour raid your pension and spend it on useless s
t in a scrabbling effort to buy more votes they are dirty socialist scum who are only voted for by unemployed scumIt the tories raid you pension and spend it on useless s
t in a scrabbling effort to buy more votes they are fine upstanding wonderful people who are voted for by clear thinking people and you should be thankful.Not good.
In comparison to other not good things, this raid on high earner pensions is said to raise £7bn but The Boy George's boss Camoron already forces this country's taxpayers to subsidise the palaces, mansions, private jets, yachts, supercar fleets and designer clothing plus accessories of the third world's entire coterie of despots and tyrants to the tune of about £10bn.
Blue Labour strikes again.

cant see this happening
the good things are
1. people would stop pension contributions leading to a massive tax grab now which would be good for the government
the bad things
1. no one would save for later life
2. the government would have a ticking timebomb on its hands as people with no pensions retire
3. tories will be voted out
4. pensions industry will fall and all other support services, financial services, advisers, staff, back up staff and so on meaning big job losses

1. Very few are now. Not many seem to save other than the bare minimum.1. no one would save for later life

2. It already does.
3. It's the coalition, and I've not seen anything from the government to warrant their reelection. Just not being Labour is not enough.
4. Let's see how happy people are when the Square Mile becomes a small circle.
Ending it at the rate you start paying higher rate tax is too low a rate of income.
However I can see the point of some reform, this is supposed to be a way of saving for your retirement, not just merely the most tax efficient form of saving for the rich.
If say, they abolished the 50p tax rate, but paid for it by a reduction in the amount you can attract tax relief on, that could be a good move on tax simplification grounds.

1. most people who are 40% taxpayers save something, ok the poor don't but most bigger earners do save something and this will now reduce if this goes ahead.2. It already does.

3. they are doing the best they can given what they have inherited and the lib dems are making it tough for them to get their decisions through.
4. very true, financial services is a big player in this country 9% of GDP iirc? it's becoming worthless working unless you earn 100k plus now

There were a number of posters who prior to the general election that expressed the view of OPs title when it came to choosing blue over red.
Unfortunately a number of decisions made by our current Govt seem to vindicate that view. this is just another to the list.
Yes in some policy areas but not all. The ones where Blue Labour seem to copy New Labour inevitably draw attention.Unfortunately a number of decisions made by our current Govt seem to vindicate that view. this is just another to the list.
