Ordinary people must wait until age 65 for a pension

THE scandal of current and former politicians collecting lavish pensions while also taking a substantial salary is yet more proof of just how out of touch with real people the political class has become.

Saying the pension is legal and therefore they are entitled to it does not wash with people who have to wait until age 65 before collecting their pensions, presuming of course they are lucky enough to have one.

Just because something is legally right does not make it ethically right.
