I am sorry, What?
I personally think it's the people that are out of work and receive benefits that should do voluntary work.
Forcing pensioners to do it is just crazy!

What a joker 
All these jobless people "wanting" jobs, and yet the ones who've worked probably all their life have to volunteer instead of enjoying the rest of their life.

Fucking typical but people who do fuck all will most likely get theirs .in my opinion to be able to claim a pension you should have to have paid tax and national insurance for a minimum of 20 years. Should also be on a scale the more in the more you get out . They should trial it by making that cunt work after taking all his money to level his wealth out with the average pensioner

Changes need to happen if people want to go around thinking it's appropriate to retire at 65 and carry on living until their late 80's/early 90's.

Yes, we need out of the EU and have our money going back into the island we live on.

So you're proposing that they should reduce the amount of time you need have made contributions by 10 years?

Yes, leaving the EU would be sensible, leaving the trading community in which we do the majority of our business will help no end

whats your solution then Ed?
the EU is clearly in trouble with country's requiring bail outs and our country seen as a free ride with the amount of foreign people living on our soil. I'm not a daily mail reader but when do we shut our doors and say enough is enough?

This tbh, leaving the EU isn't really the solution. Though we could do with seeing more benefits from being 'in' (that being said I'm not sure how much we should get, being outside of the single currency in all).
Either way the inter-eu migration does need looking at, doesn't seem right that EU citizens are flocking over here because their countries are going down the pan. Seems to be sending a lot of UK money over sees back into Europe which although good for Europe, isn't necessarily so good for the UK.
