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.

@PepsiColaP Most private pensions give you a choice when you can collect your pension you have control, you can take a tax free lump sum or leave it with your pension.

The state pension what's really annoyed me why didn't government leave the retirement age alone, I've been looking at the population of the UK on Wikipedia from 1911 to 2021 it rise was quite predictable I don't see why people are blaming the "Baby Boomer's generation their out of touch.
