• The retirement age will have to rise to 71 for middle-aged workers across the UK

    In what fucking universe is 71 “middle aged”? The life expectancy in the UK is only 82.

      They mean that the retirement age off in the future will rise to 71 for people who are middle aged (in their 30s maybe) today. Not that 71 is middle aged.
