This post is not about working or not working whilst in the employ of our Government, this post merely points out the inequalities between working for the Government and working in the general work place.

Before you start telling us how well you are compensated, it might do well for you to remember that you were paid by me and all other law abiding tax paying citizens and it is very difficult to know that we paid your wages and see you get far better health and pension benefits than we do. It should be a level playing field whomever you work for.
