Off Topic General Election Special

You do realise that since 2010 the Tories have increased our national debt by more than the previous Labour Govt did in 13 years don't you? Which included bailing out the banks in 2008....

The idea that the Tories are frugal whilst Labour were spendthrifts is a complete fallacy, that completely ignores the actual facts

Austerity has failed, our debt has massively increased, we've got working people relying on foodbanks, our NHS is crumbling, we've lost 20k police, the gap between the haves and have nots is ever increasing and Cameron gambled our country's future like a pissed up poker player in trying to split the UKIP vote in 2015, and delivered the slow motion car crash that is Brexit.

 

the only reason the tories get so many votes is to avoid tax cuts, pretty much the sole reason
spineless party of eton boys

 

My wage bill has doubled in 15 years but every f'ker wants everything for nowt! You go into a bar and ask for a pint and the bird serves you it and then says "that'll be £5 please" You'll all be happy knowing she's on £10 an hour? If labour get in I fear for small businesses! It's ok you jumping on here with sound bites of labour this and labour that! As if it's cool to be labour but at the end of the day it's the people's vote that matters! So we'll see eh?

 

The thread is fine. It's a one off. Just get brady off the ****er. He'll rant all night as well.
Some really interesting posts from leon and others. I'm enjoying it

 

She tweeted "I hope people refuse to vote Tory in Hull. Their cuts hurt us." Seems sensible advice.

 

Now the scousers on!

 

I pay £5 a pint now.

 

The supermarkets wage bill will increase by the same amount as yours, and those costs will ultimately have to be passed on to the consumer, so how does that change the current dynamic one iota?

 

Yep, BrAdY needs to go now. He's spamming a decent thread.

 

We had all this discussion when the minimum wage was introduced. Businesses didn't go bust and the skies didn't fall in.

 

I paid 3 pounds for a pint of Britannia Ale in London back in 1970(pub in Leicester Square).

 

my favourite colour is pink

not much different, to discussing price of pints is it?

 

Exactly, as the increase is across the entire spectrum, so small businesses will have to ultimately pass on the increase in their employment costs in the same way that the large corporations will.

 

so much for democracy, wow

won't forget this.

 

If you've ever known anyone who's been a supplier to a large supermarket they'll tell you what they're like! I've had dealings with them and they're ruthless! A simple example is they'll ask a grower to grow thousands and thousands of cucumbers ( could be anything ) BUT they'll also ask others to do the same thing! Then when it comes to harvesting them they'll negotiate a price ( usually rediculusy low ) knowing that they've got others who'll supply them! And you've got thousands you can't get rid of! Supermarkets are ****s simple as! So when you go into one thinking these are cheap? They're aren't a tin of beans at say 50p has cost them 15p! ****S ( rant over)

 

the answer my friend is here

 

Corporate business in ****ish behaviour shocker, but that's been the case for donkeys, and with respect is irrelevant to the point about increased labour costs which would be universal.

 

but didn't germany lose the war?

 

No but you said that the increase in wages would have the same affect on them! They're profits are through the roof because of the practices I mentioned! So it is relevant! And everyone shops in them! even labour supporters!
