I am a bit surprised by the notion that mercenary will get no state pension. In order to do this he must have never paid NI conributions that is he has never been in proper legal paid legal employment.
The pensions I am talking about are contributory ones 11% for government workers where either the employer or the employee contribute not state pensions and subsequently early retirement/unemployment results.
My point is a simple one jobs should not be means tested. The best person for the job should be appointed. People should not be discriminated on grounds of relative wealth or age.
For example if I applied for a digging job should it be given to a new guaduate or myself?
