It's the public sector pensions that is a big economic burden in the UK. The public sector get far more than anyone else. In fact, some GPs have had to retire early due to their pension pot reaching £1M. These pensions are being funded by those that can't afford to save for their own future and pensions.
This is a good article from the Daily Telegraph, titled, 'Have-nots are footing the bill for Britain's privileged public sector'. In my day, that was a reason that many people went to work in the public sector, a job for life and for the sizeable pensions.

Has far as I'm aware even the MEPs from the UK that were elected to the EU Parliament are still entitled to their pensions from the EU parliament too.
