Lord Bichard (who?) proposes making pensioners do some work e.g. in the community, or face a reduction in their pension.
Great idea, Bichard, to make the people who've worked all their lives do some more in retirement (or else!).
Bichard, listen - retirement means not working any more. Geddit?
How about making fit young people who've never worked.......   

If ever there was a compelling argument for scrapping the ludicrous "Lords", Bichard is the man. Let's hope this idiot's crackpot ideas hastens their demise.
