So George Osbourne is set to announce a Tory government will raise state retirement age to 66 from 2016.
Fuck right off you Tory bastards I have worked hard for over 30 years on the promise of retirement at 60, already my employer, like many others, has pulled the rug out from under my feet and raised company pension age to 65 and now you want to rob me of yet another year.
So much for the leisure filled years we were promised on Tomorrow's World in the 1960s, yet still there are five million people without jobs. Osbourne you can't make everybody work until they drop if there are not enough jobs to go round already.
See if you can guess who won't get my vote.

Now that is interesting Ships as we Canadians have been fighting for the right to work beyond the mandatory retirement age of 65 as we felt it was discriminatory. And we have won...we can retire when we damn well please...
Having said that, I am frickity not working past 65 years of age.
