Looks like some people are getting old:

Twice as many old codgers, as if the roads weren't bad enough already.

All the more ridiculous that both major parties rule out raising the retirement age for the state pension, the present PM even making it a resigning issue. So short termed it's untrue.

Yet more stress being placed on the health system, with such a small population where is the money going to come from?

We all kind of knew this was the deal with baby boomers, the nation has not accumulated a surplus to deal with their healthcare so they will just have to go private or endure poor service.

Depends which end of the Baby Boomers you are on. We're on the bum side. Paid out shed loads all ways round and now being told to work until you're dead.
