I was being facetious TBF.
But yes, auto-correct on my damn phone.
Excellent!
And what do they have to say about the fact that the Tories have been the biggest borrowers over the last 70 years?

Shit man, which world do you work in? There is no way in hell that would happen.
Why do you think the Tories have been the biggest borrowers over the last 70 years SOG?

What world do you work in? I’ve been reading the points you and @cb-saint about those that are currently on ten pounds an hour. They’ll need to be paid more, obviously.
The Tories seem to be citing this as a massive problem. It’s a bosses’ problem, and some bosses will pay more to solve it. Those that don’t will lose the people they don’t want to pay north of a tenner.

The issue is not just those that are currently on £10 an hour, if it were there’d be no issue.
Classic Labour, myopic about policy effects on business and ultimately the economy.
Unemployment under Labour: For the many, not the few.
voted down for being bollocks. Typical scare mongering from tories.
Voted down for lack of substantiation.
Which part is bollocks? Would like to know why you think the rise minimum wage won’t result in bigger unemployment?
Also, how do you define a Tory?
Scared. Selfish. Or both.

Meh. You’re at the point now where you’re disliking posts simply because they differ from your political opinion.
If I’d had called you an Intergalactic Testicle or something, I could understand. I did not. I do not.
Whichever party wins, we’re looking at a massive contraction in the unskilled labour pool and a rippling up of all salaries as the essential rules of supply and demand kick in.
We’ll hit £10 minimum wage by 2020 anyway. Labour were just smart enough to make this inevitability their policy.
Yes, but there will also be less jobs due to Brexit, which will at least cancel out that contraction, and will most likely depress wages.
I struggle to see what the dislike button is for if it’s not for expressing that you don’t like someone’s opinion?
Erm…
Is it because their economic policies are even more shit than Labour’s?

I have a more charitable definition for Tories that aren’t part of any elites.
They just don’t like people taking the piss. I can deal with that, but wish they’d assess the Conservative Party on that basis.
The fact that they don’t is a bit of a problem.
Einstein reckons the definition of insanity is trying the same thing multiple times and expecting different results. We’ve been trying this neoliberal bollocks for forty years. It was great at the start, when the public had shit left to sell. Forty years on, it’s getting fucking insane. Tories need to wake up to this.

I’m assuming your looking at that deeply flawed statistical analysis done last year, yes? The one that takes arbitrary points in time, and doesn’t take into account global economic wobbles, except the ones that it suits to do.
Essentially, he was asked to model his findings against a timeframe which showed world events, political changes etc, on his most popular article by a country mile (one he’d want to sustain). He refused to do it.
There’s a reason for that.
I’ll vote up the first and second parts of this, and as a response I will say that’s the reason I’m not voting Conservative at this election.
I don’t know if we looked at the same thing Cherts, but this was from Tax Research UK.
Don’t think it’s the same one, as i read a lot of the comments on T R UK and he either answered, or said it was done but didn’t change the results. Can’t say for sure if Chertsey issue was one i read about. Sure the evidence will appear if i’m wrong.
This is spot on. I have problems filling my vacancies at supervisor level in my team. This is for two reasons, one of which you’ve identified and the other one is wftc’s . Because welfare tops up the workers low wages,any wage rise they get from a promotion disappears because their wftc’s are cut by a similar amount. Some see it as a stepping stone to higher management and some take the promotion because they’d rather come off welfare, even if they get the same money monthly. However the vast majority don’t want the extra hassle and stress for no extra money. I have not had a pay rise for 5 years, and the gap between me & my team is closing year on year. I still earn considerably more than them, so can’t really complain , but the management level below me are getting really squeezed
