Nagel   10 #25 Posted January 6, 2016 If our Queen can work so hard at 90 why do we insist on retiring people in their sixties and then paying them pensions? This is bankrupting our Country. We just can't afford all the old people. Why can't everyone work like Our Queen until they die?  I don't get what point you're trying to make. I realise that you're anti-monarchy, but it comes across like you're having a dig at pensioners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I realise that you're anti-monarchy, but it comes across like you're having a dig at pensioners.  I am having a dig at the inequality that exists in our 'democratic' society. I am sure many more people could work until they are ninety with palaces to live in, servants and the best health care that privilege could buy.
