Why Should We Have To Work Longer To Receive Our Pensions

I hear all these politicians talking about various subjects no-one mentions the British people now have to work longer.

The retirement age was always 65 years for men & 60 years for women it's about time those Pen-pushers were shown the door.

@idontcareok All this goes against the grain my forefathers and yours fought for a better world, raising retirement ages is disgusting as far as I'm concerned, their hitting the hardworking population if they can't balance the books they should go.

@idontcareok Those people started working believing they could retire at 65 with a pension, in fact that was a contact surely the government can only change the retirement age for school leavers who haven't started working for a living.
