If a large company invests in new technologey ahd this results in people loosing their jobs. then that company should pay for the workers. Large companys should work to allow their staff to leave the job at 65 and live farly well.

When many Men reach their Retirement, their Day's of having Dandruff are mainly over.
It is therefore a Pity then, that your Day's of having an Overdraft won't disappear in the very same way.

well every one going to retire and the amount of us retireing in the coming 20 years or so will out weigh the younger, so not only will they have to deal with the excess immergration problem and the unfair tratment they recieve there going to have fix the problems of us oldies. I recon in two or three goverments time, once were out this mess, euro died its death and labour finally exposed for his mis manged leaders in bed with union chiefs (un-elected and over paid) then there will an answer. I also believe there is a plan and stratergy forming/ed but is today the time to tells us with all above still in place?????

The idiots in today's Government clearly don't have a Clue, or understand the First thing about when it come to Manual Working, because anyone doing ANY Manual intensive Labouring Job relies upon that Person remaining FIT ENOUGH to carry - on doing their Trade at WHATEVER Age they are, and this Point alone has nothing whatsoever to do with being able to Work until your reaching the current State Retirement Age at any given Age in time.

The MAIN problem being cited by many is that the reason current trends in Unemployment are RISING, is due to the drop off of a 5% Reduction within the Building Trade Sector from the UK Economy, while any attempt to retain ANY Building Workers past the current Retirement Age is practically ZERO, due to the Fact that many are well and truly Knackered a long time before they reach their Pension Age, since with the downsizing of the Building Trade, any Light - Duty Job's have completely disappeared NEVER again to ever return as Employers Cut wastage from their Labour - Force.

Therefore, anyone's ability to WORK at whatever Age totally depends their FITTNESS to carry on within ANY Employment, and this has NOTHING AT ALL whatsoever to do with your actual Age.
So, this being the Case - where then in the future are Million's of "New" Light - Duty Job's going to be found, when in practice our current useless Government CANNOT find any REAL Employment for our Younger - Generation, and those currently Workless in Mid - Life, whom are also Unemployed Knackered with ill - Health and Injuries, or past their FITTEST???

This Coalition Government needs to get a Pea - Brain between them, and Grow - Up and learn about reality.

I'M A TAXPAYER AND I DONT MIND PAYING TOWARDS PENSIONS,HELL I'LL BE A PENSIONER MYSELF AT SOME STAGE SO TO MOAN ABOUT MY TAXES FOR THE AGED WOULD BE SELFISH.

Well its looks everyone who are working class will be stuffed so eat, drink and be merry, who wants to live till their 90s suffering from dementia and in the hands of the caring health service, better to die of a heart attack than linger on denied food and water.

Some people will not be able to keep on working in the industry that they are in now owing to the implications of the work.I myself work in a busy warehouse although I am in charge I am expected to be hands on .this means picking and packing orders for shipment and a lot of the work is done manually and on some days walking around 10miles a day and picking heavy items even now after doing a days work I come home tired at 70 it would not be tired but knackered.many a time I have said we should get a new stock line in this would be a coffin for each member of staff has it would be the only way some off us would be able to leave our work forever.

I consider myself very lucky I was able to retire at the age of 60 I feel so sorry for future generations. I am still not contented though. Why are we never satisfied? I still want more money a pension is not sufficient for me.

I would love to know where this Tory led coalition governement is going to find all the jobs for geriatrics, when it`s policies , have more young and fit people on the dole breadline, than Naggiie Thatcher managed in her hayday !
Perhaps he will send the them to where most big British/American companies have their manufacturing bases. CHINA.!

" still not retire until at least 77, and their children can expect to work into their 80s ", Eh ! The life expectantsy of a UK male manual worker is at present 75.9 years so work that one out .
