I can't see why Sutch is heading up a piece about forcing pensioners to do some work after 'retirement' age: this never appeared in Sutch's ever changing political programme. <br />(There does n't seem to be much added by Bob E to what Schofield said apart from the recommendation that this is an interesting idea.)<br />DBC Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17891849727783879145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141932539860553199.post-75894832513791773112013-08-08T07:42:06.820+01:002013-08-08T07:42:06.820+01:00DBC, I've corrected the typo.

Surely some respect is due for the pioneer of young people's politics who, it could be claimed, succeeded in his campaign for votes for teenagers.<br />As to the substance of the article: how is the system going to provide all this useful work for oldsters when the main political parties no longer bother to create jobs, the way Margaret Thatcher ,before she became impossible, wangled all those Nissan jobs in Sunderland?
