i've been pondering, how would a guy get on if he took his case to europe (or just even the supreme court), for the following

A discrimination Case: I feel that I have been discriminated against by not been offered the same pension as that of a Teacher or a public servant as been in the private sector i have paid more tax than them and am not been treated to the same benefits

i know there are only basics there, but could a great legal eagle put together a case?

If we were to follow your logic then I, as a civil servant, could take a case that I'm not getting the same pension as a Premiership Footballer, how do you think that would be treated?
 
a Premiership footballer has his own private pension!, why are my taxes going into a civil servants pension?

Why do you think that a civil or public servant has paid LESS taxes than you? What percentage of your gross salary are you obliged, excluding additional contributions, to pay towards your pension?

If you wanted the pension entitlements of a teacher or a public servant, surely you should have pursued those as career options. Your own choice is not a basis for a discrimination case.

How do you think public services should be funded?
