Retirement at 68 brought forward by Osborne

(A creep... er... man who has never held a proper job!)

George Osborne will use autumn statement to signal new formula linked to life expectancy that could save the government £500bn over 50 years

More people will have to work until they are 68 before being entitled to a state pension under plans to be announced by Chancellor George Osborne.

The current state pension age was set to change from 65 to 68 in 2046.

But that date will be brought forward to the mid-2030s, Mr Osborne

The pension age could rise again to 69 in the late 2040s, he will add, meaning people now in their 20s may have to work until they are 70.

Cameron and Osborne said that people should spend on average no more than one-third of their adult lives in retirement.

Most of us will have to work until we drop - the idea of a long and happy retirement is a myth for all but a minority of people.

And where are the jobs going to come from if millions of 'At one time pensioners' are working, what chance the youngsters of obtaining gainful employment? It's bad enough now!

My hatred of the upper class, spoon-in-the-mouths members of this government is growing more and more.

How did they get in power? Who is to blame?

Gordon Brown? The Voters? The Lib-Dems? or all of em?

My thoughts on Politicians

There’s not many that haven’t had an Illicit love affair,

They are experts and tutored in spouting lies and hot air,

They dance around giving answers like Fred Astaire,

Most Ministers have never worked, or known financial despair,

They fiddle expenses, get a pay rise of 9.6%, and it’s so unfair,

They say the IPSA sets their salary now, they declare,

But they set the wage of IPSA of £40,400 per manager...yea?

And grant the IPSA expenses; of this the part-time IPSA are aware,

The rot set in with the crooked nihilistic, nepotistic Tony Blair.

Most are millionaires too, jealous... me? Now where’s me bus pass?

Cameron, and his cronies will never worry about the cost of gas,

Despite his cabinet consisting of a cruel men, an inertial mass,

PMs a group from superior stock, all unethical, bold as brass,

They are not caring, they are cruel, pitiless and crass.

They ought to hypnotised into being honest en masse,

They’ve taken away my few benefits, ‘cause I bought a pension,

Paid into it for fifty odd years, worse off now, makes you laugh,

It’s the weak they prey on, ignore, laugh at and harass!

Not for workers of pensioners, warmth, good food or an au pair,

I can’t afford a holiday or even the petrol or train fare,

No BUPA for me, just the ailing NHS hospital care,

The NHS staff are harangued and frustrated, but they really care,

They strut and pose, well fed, clothed, looking debonair,

While pensioners are struggling, broke, in utter despair,

They know their earnings from backhanders and offshore shares,

They sit in central heated offices, in their reclining chairs,

Of the poverty, frustration and pain, they seem totally unaware!

Bless them. (Spit!)

No doubt they are working out how to prevent deaths of pensioners due to the cold, lack of food, or being mugged?
