New retirement rules took effect in Poland on Sunday under which women are able to retire at 60 and men at 65. This is after Poland's ruling conservatives reversed a 2012 reform by the previous government that would have ultimately increased the retirement age to 67 for both sexes

 

How come ours has not been reduced then ?

Or the EU are funding them Steve ! !

Small potatoes compared to pension costs. Our gross EU contribution was 13bn. We spend almost 100bn on the state pension alone. EU contributions aren't important in that picture, what is important is economic performance (and resulting tax receipts) and the number of young people earning and paying tax compared to the number of old people taking out.

We don't want another Brexit referendum, simply because that will give Little Jimmy Krankie more ammunition for another Indyref for Scotland.

As I was explaining to my partner's kids the other day, they don't need to fear Brexit. They're smart, well educated, they're going to get degrees in proper subjects. If it all goes to hell, they'll be able to emigrate to somewhere with better prospects.

 

For less lucky youngsters, and for those dependent on the state in their old age - well, I hope it all works out.
