Sweatshop?
« on: October 14, 2013, 16:59:46 PM »
Gideon {call me "George"} Osborne has today called for British people to stop treating China like a sweatshop. I would be pleased if Osborne and his posh little Tory chums would stop treating Britain like a sweatshop. Longer hours, with higher workload, for more years - that's their policy for British people.

I seem to remember my retirement age went up under the last lot in power.

PAH !!!!!! don't talk to me about pensions. I got 22% of my 'realised losses' from a
15 year private pension scheme with the maladministrated Equitable life.

Stoop your confusing the statutory state pension payment age with your own retirement age choice, two different things  This is the new economically liberal age in Britain, you can choose to retire when you want, or indeed keep working for as long as you want, that's what choice is all about.

Wot can't afford to retire? or are not fit enough to hold down a a reasonably paying job in your older age ....... tough .... people will have to get used to it.
