People are living longer, and yet pensions are being reduced, standards of care for the elderly in residential homes are poor, and the over 60's are one of the most vulnerable groups in society and also one the most ignored and abused. Maybe we have 30, 40 or 50 years before we reach that age, but shouldn't we start now to make sure that in our latter years, we have a decent standard of life? After all, the powers that be have already secured their future, its the working Man and Woman that's at risk (like always) and to get "them" to do anything that benefits us has always been a long hard struggle. Don't we as the younger generation need to start fighting now to safeguard our future, and also make sure that our children have a good life when they get old?
