Sentenced to 8.5 years for false rape allegations. This is link is from before sentencing, thought it was worth posting as it shows the effect it had on the lives of those accused.
Three men tried to take their own lives after being falsely accused of rape and trafficking, a court has heard.
Eleanor Williams accused the men of attacking her and posted on Facebook in May 2020 that she was the victim of an Asian grooming gang.
Surprised she wasn't charged with a racially motivated crime, as her claims were against Asian 'traffickers' (although one turned out to be a white man that she had never met, only chatted to online). She even created fake social media accounts and sent herself messages claiming they were from her 'abusers'.

Some people are seriously fucked in the head!
And it turns out she wasn't - or anywhere else.....
I don't think this is a surprise - the French system is overly generous compared to other similarly wealthy EU nations, and the money simply isn't there. Absolutely this is shit if you're knocking-on to retirement ....
While he's there he probably needs to address similarly generous unemployment benefits, amongst others, because that seems similarly unaffordable. But the pensions thing is potentially crippling and, a bit like the UK, this is probably only step one of further changes.
It's worth noting that the French retirement age is currently 62. That's 4 years less than the uk. Even the proposed retirement age is 'only' 64. And the French on average live 2 years longer than us Brits, so it's clear to impartial observers that something needs to change in the French system. And just to twist the knife, the French state pension is roughly 50% higher than that in the UK.
Sorry to be pedantic, but there is no age limit for retirement. Only an age when you can claim state pension.
Most folk have other plans as well as the state funding.
I retired at 54.

What worries me most is why someone was charged, the police and CPS both decided he was guilty without any corroborating evidence.
According to another BBC article
The force said it was unable to comment so as "to not taint any future potential proceedings".
It does come across as just wanting to be seen to do something and caving in to public pressure. Her claims that she'd been abused since the age of 12, and that other girls in the town were being trafficked, led to protests from locals and Tommy Robinson made an appearance, while the local rag was insinuating that the police were not doing enough. No doubt he'll have his day in court with the police and we'll all hear how 'lessons have been learnt'.

Some people haven't organised anything cos they didn't think they'd get old enough to worry about retirement!!!
I've suddenly realised that, since I haven't done anything really stupid till now, and the average age the women in my family reach is about 95, maybe I should think about sorting something out!
Mind you, luckily, I like what I do and where I work, so I suspect I'll be working past retirement - unless I find the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow!!
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!

Quite right - I should have said 'state pension age' rather than 'retirement age'.
event to be fair....
