    Having been looking up the stats for Brexit, I came across these stats of the ages of MP’s in Parliament, the very same people who vote to increase the working age/retirement age in the real world, because they have a cushy number which allows them to work longer.

    60-69      70+

    1979              87            14

    1983              86              9

    1987              79              6

    1992             95               3

    1997             69               8

    2001             83             10

    2005            100            14

    2010             99              16

    2015            107              24

    2017            114               28

    Yes like them at work, I can get through Christmas Day, eating and drinking too much then falling asleep and don’t get me started on the House Of Lords (pensioners club).

    People who have had to do real work may be living longer with medical help but they have certainly not found eternal youth and many of us have paid the price.

    Maybe we should do what we did with cigarettes and put health warnings on job adverts that work can damage you’re health and cause possible ultimate death.
