Im coming to the conclusion that this riot is nothing more than a bunch of 20 something's in the same way we had all the stupid riots in London over Covid.
Most of them probably have no idea what a pension is let alone how impacted they'll be in 40 odd years.
See what cool hands said above. Most of them probably have no idea what a pension is let alone how impacted they'll be in 40 odd years.

Just like here, 67 will become 70.
There’s talk of shelving the planned increase in UK from 67 to 68 due to falling life expectancy.Delighted to be wrong about this, although if it's science or politics driving delay, you tell me...

Do you know many people who can do manual or semi manual work at 67yrs old?
My digger driver is 72 and two of my carpenters are in their middle 60s.If you've done it for many years it's easier to keep doing it compared to an office worker suddenly trying to start.

It is still amusing how the French are rioting over their pension age being increased to 64, when in the UK, it is already 65 with the decision to raise it to 68, being delayed (but not necessarily cancelled)
It’s 66 and going to 67 in 2028.Edited by M1AGM on Friday 31st March 13:12
