Budget 2010: Default retirement age may be scrapped

Welcome to Communist England where you retire at HM Gov pleasure - when they tell you and you get what they decide to give you.

This socialist lot want to implement the Bulgarian regime - you work till you drop.

Retirees are provided with a blue overall - and white headgear and HAVE to tend the public parks roads and buildings to earn their state handout/credit. This is Browns utopia - absolute control.

If you have a scrap of dignity and self worth don't vote for Labour in May.

If you cannot gain decent gainful employment in your fifties having been made redundant how on earth are you meant to get back into the workforce with a decent wage & able to save for retirement at 65+ ?

We as a country are sleepwalking to the ABYSS.......we have too many people here in UK & millions of people from the new EU states working for wages which were paid in the nineties......£20,000 a year in LONDON is not a lot of money. We as a country cannot afford to be a socialist utopia for the feckless,the reckless & the shirkers & deliberate mass produced one parent families......FRANK FIELD the well respected LABOUR MP was asked by BLAIR to look at reforming the welfare budget...He did THE GRANDIOSE LABOUR GOVERNMENT WOULD NOT LISTEN..........

They have just reduced the number of years required to get a pension to 30 years national insurance contributions.

I am sure that all these EU labourers 45+ will want a full old age state pension & THEN WORK ON THE SIDE CASH IN HAND .............................& asylum seekers also.

Get rid of this inefficient,gutless motley crew come election day. Vote for any part but LABOUR..PLEASE!!!

everyone is called red that gives any rights to workers ,nowerdays, without some collaboration between goverment and workforce ,plus employers .no progress can take place .lets have more talking between all parties to reach an amicable and forward conclusion to these problems .

Gordon Brown has taken nearly £100 billion from private pensions, if that money had been allowed to grow, by the time people retire in 30 or 40 years the difference between what they would have had, and what they will have will be closer to

£1 trillion collectively.

Brown himself will retire on a pension that we have to pay of over £150,000 per year.

"Opportunites for the many, not the few".

A working man under a Labour government will remain a working man until the day he dies, because he'll never be able to afford to retire.

So if everyone works an extra few years where's the work coming from? If there's no extra work, does it mean unemployment for younger people? can anyone over 65 who can't get a job claim unemployment benefit?

Ken the Pen is right; the real problem is over population by immigrants taking British jobs and siphoning off our hard earned tax money in benefits.

condem the kds to no jobs

condem the workers to no promotion ladder

condem the manual workers to death

all this from dictaters in power who dont want to let go of power,

what a greedy sad bunch who are probably on a very good wage and pension.

who ever passes this will have to accept the deaths caused by dieing at the wheel ,power tool accidents, deaths by older people on others. eg doctors nurses loosing there marbles. falls from hieghts.

i forgot

dont forget the ones who want the paper cuts or pen slips or flying paper clips

have i made my point

mps ,judges .doctors,
