At what point do we have to have a serious conversation about just what sort of work we can expect a 70 year old to be able to do?
It's all well and good raising the retirement age, but eventually you'll get to a point where you've got people who are simply unemployable because of their age.
Then those people need to be taught a lesson, stripped of any assets and be left to die a miserable death following a period of fear, homelessness and uncertainty.
Did you miss a /s at the end?
Oh yeah, absolutely sarcasm. Didn't think the /s was needed... But then I remember the Tories exist and this is close to actual policy.
