1- Life on the Pension
' Old people should not be excluded from the kind of life most of us enjoy,' says Eric Midwinter , Director of the Centre for Policy on Ageing, in the first of five personal views on old age. 'The pension should not have to be tricked out with concessions, subsidies, and means-tested benefits,' he argues. ' all of which have the odour of charity about them. Substantial increases, he concedes, will be expensive - but could become politically necessary.
