Red Line,

That isn't policy, it was an idea suggested as a possible palliative in order to prevent the 'National Strike'. George might be looking on that now as 'offer withdrawn' or he might not. It all depends on whether the Unions believe there is mileage in calling everyone out again.

But, if it was introduced, there would still be people just outside the cut off date and there would still be anger ie; 54 years 364 days old on April 1 2015 (or whatever it is, I haven't had a coffee yet and my brain is still dead). Far better to have a tapering down system that is fairer to all (in my 'umble opinion).

Edit: This might offer a steer.
