    Well Brydo, I don’t believe that the pension age should be raised to 75, not yet, especially  for those who are coming up to pension age- that would be criminally unfair?

    It is a clear fact however , that humans are living longer, so there is an apparent opportunity to lengthen the working life, and put off paying a pension, but this should only be applied , if ever, to younger people, who are likely to live and work to to a greater age than we will anyway?

    £182 billion is quite a saving and very tempting, but like the £10 billion a year, stolen from Pension Funds by Gordon Brown, the worst Chancellor ever who will never be forgiven for ruining not only final salary pension schemes and the lives & aspirations of thousands of pensioners, but also as an unelected PM, just like BoJo, was in charge of the Economy during the financial crash, and he had absolutely no idea how to react to the crisis, other than , typically, throw our money at it – throwing it all away comes to mind, and this is what will happen to the £182 billion, ‘cause Politicians cannot be trusted with our money, irrespective of political party!
