Rejected petition Reduce Retirement Age back to 65 for Men and 60 for women.

As a 58 year old man having worked my whole life I think it only fair that we get to retire at an age we are able to enjoy some life we have left. I started my working career at 16 in 1979. Then I would be able to retire at 65 with a state pension.

More details

I just want back what was agreed at the time I left school. Instead of that the goalposts getting shifted each and every time parliament wants to.
