Ah yes, the latest masterstroke in policymaking: work until you’re 78, but hand over your car keys at 70 because you “need a good pair of glasses.” In other words, you’re apparently sprightly enough to toil for another eight years, but too frail to manage a Tesco run without causing motorway mayhem. The same people drafting these rules probably think oxygen should be taxed after 65 “to encourage mindful breathing.”
🚦 Work Hard, Walk Home, Repeat
Imagine it: a 75-year-old clocking off after a 12-hour shift at the Amazon warehouse, pay packet in one hand, bus timetable in the other, squinting to find the right stop. “Sorry, Doris, the council took your licence for safety reasons, but here’s a shovel—we need you on the construction site tomorrow.” The hypocrisy is so rich it could pay off the national debt—if hypocrisy were taxable.
And who benefits? Not the pensioners. Not the families. Definitely not the opticians (those “good glasses” are apparently theoretical). This is just another episode in the long-running sitcom called Britain: Making It Up as We Go Along. The punchline? By the time you’re finally “allowed” to retire, you’ll need a seeing-eye dog just to find the exit.

Why do we tolerate a system where the only retirement plan is exhaustion? Why is driving suddenly a public menace at 70 but lifting boxes for minimum wage perfectly fine at 77?
