Workhouses.

According to research examining the impact of increasing life expectancy and declining birth rates on state pensions, middle-aged workers in the UK may need to work until they are 71 before becoming eligible for pensions, as reported by The Guardian.

It will get worse .

There will be a lot of manual workers going home in an ambulance , how do they expect a 71 year old to lift heavy loads 

I'm not sure about workhouses but at some point the very generous welfare levels will have to be looked at - it's simply not possible to continue supporting people who have no interest in working and can survive quite happily on handouts.

I worked for just shy of 54 years retired when I was in almost 69 years of age, many who are not seeking work may well like you have retired early why not if you can or wish to, my wife was supposed to have her State Pension aged 60 but had to wait and pay in for another 6 years

i believe the country should impose the same conditions on those in receipt of OUT OF WORK benefits it imposed on me when i signed form SSB1 in 1976, 77, 78 etc

Namely that Social Security Benefit, and its accompanying credit for national insurance contributions, was paid on condition that i declared i was both available and willing to carry out any work which the unemployment benefit office contacted me to advise me i should apply for, failure to comply being grounds to lose such benefit as any refusal would place me in breach of my signed acceptance of the requirements of the law that i make myself available for, and declare myself willing to do, any such work

I swept factory floors, baked bread, served as a receptionist at the property services agency, carried out the duties of a clerical assistant at said agency, carried out the duties of a clerical officer at HMRC, baked a million hot cross buns, surveyed fifty acres of arable research land…

And given that today it is illegal to pay less than almost twice the basic rate tax threshold for a 40 plus hour week, which certainly was NOT the case back then, i call bullshit on your above declaration and demand you explain why someone claiming the dole NOT have to be interviewed to determine their suitability for such a job if theyvwant the benefit money

IN WORK means tested benefits paid to those in part time or full time work is a different kettle of fish, they come as of right to those in work who are still judged in need despite their take home.

I bet we'd soon see migrants being bought in to take over if you and others like you were forced to do it.

Whatever species of human being you belong to - homo dailymailicus I believe - I do hope selective breeding keeps your numbers to a minimum. Because if attitudes such as yours become dominant, we risk regressing back into cavemen.
