I can’t imagine there won’t be a great inconvenience? But only time will tell. Mick Lynch (predictably) demanding similar payout for RMT now. I don’t want to get drawn into another 12 rounds on here with all the usual suspects but I’m not sure this is going to end well financially…. 22% for...

ASLEF have just announced (2 days after your comment- also 2 days after agreeing to recommend the pay deal to their members) 22 DAYS OF STRIKE ACTION starting September 🙄 Over an unrelated matter !!!

I remember Bob Latchford , there was a Dave Latchford and a Peter Latchford think one was a keeper for Celtic. Unfortunately Palace had the best page in one of my albums because every player was a head shot and the page looked very good because of that 😞 they had the white kit with a red and...

All the times before the election when I was questioning what the Labour policies would be, I was constantly shouted down that they shouldn’t be made public. Of course if I’d known the policies would include increasing taxes, letting out the prisoners, giving the junior doctors 22% and taking...

😆 you do understand what self made means though ? Your prejudice runs to self made millionaires unless they are the 34,000+ that apparently came from poverty? Of course we have to define what the Guardian actually means by privilege but I don’t really want to go down that rabbit hole either 😳...

Don’t know about percentages but according to The Guardian there are 69,000 self made millionaires in the UK and I honestly think that there couldn’t be that many from old money? Just an entrenched view that it’s the Lords and Dukes - in modern times it’s the grafters that earn the money

Perhaps the Government (Chancellor) will “reassess” the formula used to calculate National Debt in order to continue to borrow ….as National Debt is now less than we thought…. In order to spend without taxing- or at least only extra tax from capital gains increases. Parliamentary smoke and...

Capital Gains Tax - Corporation Tax

I don’t think it’s time to abandon whipping MP’s at all. There has to be a party line or you have chaos. To vote against your own government on the very first King’s speech of a parliament is absolutely asking for trouble and no doubt John McDonnell is pleased with the result, I imagine if it...

It’s ‘Wrong - Daily’ not wrong Bailey 👍

My view is that it was a terrible idea from a terrible government HOWEVER… this is a democracy, the people voted that Government in and it is not the right of the unelected house to block the will of the elected house. Regardless of the policy. The fact that the Government didn’t manage to...

Sir Keir Starmer stamping his authority on the 7 rebels!! What a statement of intent that is 👍 Already showing he can run a Government better than the last lot

The upper house knocking it back 5 times might have something to do with the overall cost and lack of successful deportations?

Neither of your replies to me have reflected on the content of my post… if you think it is incorrect then explain why - it sounds like it’s simply someone you disagree with who wrote it so you have simply dismissed it out of hand. Imagine that !! 😊

You’re really rude. Your post I quoted was about the difficulties involved with all the different EU legislation and regulations… my post was specifically relevant to that ..? I just said I thought it was interesting and it was only in the paper a couple of days ago so I thought I’d post it.

Not necessarily so WZ - I thought this was interesting in The Times this week: The theory, worked up by pro-European think tanks, is that if we voluntarily aligned with the EU on industrial rules or veterinary and agricultural standards, and agreed to adopt and observe many regulations from...

Just making some now - double bacon wraps

In August our shops are insanely busy - it’s very hard work and as an incentive I run a 2% of turnover bonus scheme which gets shared out pro rata amongst all the shop staff.

I understand and agree. However I won’t be paying 16yo’s that may or may not come good in their first year £12.50 an hour… I certainly won’t be able to get them to work regular shifts at weekends and during the holidays because their availability is limited. My issue is with putting all age...

Increasing minimum wage for all ages would be a mistake. I’ve always employed 15 and 16 year olds in my shops alongside older staff. I rarely if ever get rid of anyone young based on ability (lack of) - I have often let younger staff go based on attitude! I always say whatever your level of...
