    A journalist from the Financial Times suggesting that "job hogging over 50s" should give up their jobs to unemployed young people.

    What would happen to the mortgages held by over 50s if it were to become a reality? How would they be expected to live if they were forced to retire?

    What is happening to the quality of journalism? Every day, it seems, something happens to further tarnish the profession be it scandals or sensationalist drivel. Is there any source of good, honest, well written journalism or are we doomed to reading the same journalistic ****e we are becoming accustomed to reading?

    Being 50, I'm all for this. Can I have my pension now, please? After a lifetime of grafting for uncaring f*****s who shouldn't be allowed to run a tombola never mind one of the countries largest employers, I'm ready to kick back and take it easy. Obviously the state will have to support me in some style, but why not? I've paid enough f****g taxes. Good plan.
