There are other ways of cutting government expenditures ?

 Well, For some reasons, time seems to go in one direction only .....

But this is frankly ridiculous . When you get to pensionable age, you need to opt IN to get your pension, or you don't get it [ the longer you leave it before starting, the more you can draw, but I guess HMG will gain financially ] .

Surely it should be automatic , with an option to leave it if you wanted ???? This one strikes me as sick
