IDS retire at 75 - WTF?

What's the Tories next "Social Initiative"? - reintroduce the workhouses? I'm at a loss, I really am.

the robbing bastids.. grr

A little story (about them, the upper class?) When I left England in I think the roman period ,yes about 1969? I left about 5 quid in the bank,and really forgot about it. About 15 years ago I went back to England ( Little Leaver) and this little bird asked me? Did you not leave money in the bank? I went to this nice looking building in Blackburn,and took my bank book account .With a smile I asked for my money, they did look at me as thought I came from Mars ,and disapeared inside a back room? Coming out sayng, ''could I go to the Bolton branch?'' In the B. branch I was told that the person with this account had died !!!(No idiots I am here!!!) and that the money had been sent to the Duke of Lancaster in London, (being that I had the same christian name as my father!)Yes he died!

'The Duke of Lancaster is the titular owner of the estates of the Duchy of Lancaster and head of the County Palatine of Lancaster. It is also an ancient title that is informally used within Lancaster to describe Elizabeth II, the monarch of the United Kingdom. The Duchy of Lancaster exists as a separate entity from the Crown Estate and currently provides income for the British monarch.

To get my 'dosh' I had to have a solicitor ,which cost me ( Now I can not remember, how much? ) That amount I got a little disappointing! But my gripe is ''phockin robbing bastids.. grr''

Not much point in the Tories raising the retirement age in the North east, hardly anyone will make it...
