Rights and entitlements

Oh dear:

“We must establish the right to a decent period of retirement otherwise we will soon see people working till they drop.”

It's not a right, it's an entitlement. Classic trade unionist forgetting an important question: how is this going to be funded? About time some system of personal accounts for pensions was brought in - the state pension resembles one of Madoff's Ponzi schemes.
