Not to worry, this won't affect any of our MPs, MSPs, MEPs, top civil servants, senior public sector staff, or those lucky enough still to be in a final-salary scheme in the private sector. Their pensions will be maintained courtesy of the poor guys covered in the article and by the latters' children & grandchildren.

2 Dont forget public sector workers contribute to their pension as well, in superannuation and tax and National Insurance, if you want a better pension, grow some cajones and fight for it. Think about it when the Banks recover, which they will, the shares the govt hold will be worth a fortune, as long as the Tories don't sell the shares cheaply to themselves and their benefactors there will be no black hole, remember the govt bought these at bottom dollar. This whole thing is a generated panic over nothing.
