People in their 20s will have to work until they are 70 under new plans
to be announced by George Osborne.
In his Autumn Statement speech, the chancellor will also confirm that
people now in their forties will have to wait until 68 to receive the state
pension after it was revealed that the date of the planned increase in the
retirement age is likely to be brought forward from 2046 to the mid-2030s.
And a further rise in the state pension age to 69 is expected to take
place by the late 2040s, hitting people now in their early thirties.
Why doesn’t Osborne just cut the crap and when he’s interviewed after he’s
finished delivering his autumn statement look down the barrel of the camera’s
and just say ‘young people of Britain you will die at work, that is all’.
Looks like in the future the concept of a pension will cease to exist
for the majority, as only the wealthy will be able to afford to retire and
enjoy the autumn years of their lives.
For the rest it will be work until you die with the maximum amount of
suffering and the minimum amount of enjoyment, cheers George.
What was that phrase, oh yes ‘we’re all in this together’ I think this
announcement is the latest entry in the evidence book that we are most
definitely not.
