According to David Cameron's key adviser, elderly should be encouraged to go back to work and move smaller homes.
David Halpern, a senior NO.10 aide, suggested that elderly people who didn’t move into smaller homes where contributing to the housing shortage. This comes as the state pension age is due to increase from 65 to 68 over the next three decades.
The Conservatives have been suggesting that elderly people should work past retirement age, even going so far as to say the retirement age should be at a extremely high 75 years old.
These latest outbursts of complete idiocy, just shows what little compassion the Conservatives have for our elderly. Cameron and his cronies care nothing for the well being of the elderly, all they care about is cutting the amount of money they have to pay out in pensions.
In my opinion, this amounts to bullying. Accusing the elderly who live in homes that they have worked hard to buy, to be the cause of the housing shortage is insanely untrue and a unfair statement. The reason there is a housing shortage is because of the open door policy, allowing millions of immigrants to flood our country. Elderly people who have brought their homes have nothing to do with the shortage, its the foolish and blind policies of the mainstream parties.
The elderly, who have spent their lives working hard and paying taxes into the system, and paying for their homes, should not be encouraged to leave their homes and get jobs- not that there are any jobs out there to get. Its about time the Conservatives got their heads out of their asses, and actually tried being compassionate human beings.
