Thank God our Parliament did not apply our "university rule" to Sir Winston Churchill - "no university in this country can afford to fund people beyond their retirement" ("Nobel scientist quits Sussex for America", The Argus, August 24).
From 1939, Sir Winston became our greatest wartime leader - aged 65.
For the rest of us, it is a possible "sad fact" that no future Government in this country will be able to afford to fund our retirement pensions, despite paying national insurance for most of our lives.
