Keep the state pension at 67 for those born before 1977

What the petition asks

Leave the state pension qualifying age as it stands at 67, for those born prior to 1977 and have planned their retirement accordingly.
Leave the state pension qualifying age as it as it stands. We think it is already far enough off and many people simply cannot work longer. We think they have paid in their dues and it is totally unfair to move their entitlement further away at a late stage in their lives.
