Blast!

High pressure blasting a trawler in dry dock prior to a new paint job.

The influential right wing think tank The Centre for Social Justice, chaired by Ian Duncan Smith, has proposed that the UK state pension age should be raised to 75 to save millions of pounds!

Mr Duncan Smith et al sitting in their cosy London office might wish to think about how they would cope with a physically demanding job when they are in their 70s!

They might also reflect on, for example,  the fact that that in 16 communities in Aberdeen City the average male life expectancy is below 75 and thus half would die before they reach the proposed pension age! 

Pure callous, uncaring, unthinking cruelty!
