A matter of conscience

[rhino49]

I may be out of order in using these comparisons but consider this:

The government has a conscience about using fair-trade items so that farmers and producers in third world countries get well paid for their labour

The government has a conscience about using eco friendly products to protect the environment

The government has a conscience about how livestock is raised and treated on its way to the butcher

The government has a conscience about illegally trafficked sweatshop workers and the import of items produced by child labour

Why therefore, hasn’t the government got a conscience about bullying and working conditions in a business it owns that employs thousands of British human beings who are proud of the work they do and pay their taxes to fund the government that are their employers?

Corruption.
This government, RM senior management, they all stand to make a packet out of making more cuts in the workforce, errr, I mean modernisation.

I think its a very good question.
I can think of a few more.
Does the government care about our pension deficit despite their culpability,
re the 10 year "pension holiday" ?
postal workers are blameless for the lack of money in the fund,
They have all paid in their contributions their whole working lives.
Haven't they been systematically burgled /fleeced in what amounts to legalized daylight robbery?

when robert maxwell allegedly had a bit of "pension trouble" he was the biggest crook going!!! because it's the government thats shafted our pensions it's ok? they should be locked up for what amounts to theft!!! if you did this in the private sector you would be locked up . :mfo :mfo :mfo :mfo :mfo :mfo :mfo :mfo
