REGARDING Bernard Pendlebury (male pensions at 60), he is hitting his head against a brick wall.
It's already been decided that in about two years, pensions for men and women will be equalised at 65, graded over a number of years.
The fact is it would cost billions of pounds to reduce men's pensions to age 60. This is an ageing country and, as each year goes by, there are less young workers to support an increasing number of pensioners.
The fact that millions of babies have been aborted over the years proves the fact that nature can hit back, ie less workers and taxpayers to support the elderly population.
