    Oh they're still not strong enough but whilst zero hour contracts have risen since 2010 from 0.8% to 3% of employment in USA about 66% do not have a just cause contract in their employment so are employed under at-will conditions.

    Now your pollies don't want a GE. Feck me, you really are in a mess aren't you. I can see you crawling back to the EU begging to be allowed in as another vassal state and take all the **** they can throw at you. Great Britain? I don't think so, not any more. You should change your national anthem. Maybe Deutschland uber England might be appropriate.

    You do realise that the Tories aren’t always in power don’t you?
    Every Labour spokesperson is trotting out the workers rights mantra without pointing out that if they do happen to win an election, they would be in charge of workers rights.
    Hopefully my vote will count this time although if Boris did win an election we might get a few wanting us to do it again.
    It is the middle of winter and a lot of older people might die so, even though Labour lost, they could say it was unfair or undemocratic.

    I think when we get this election the result could be quite interesting.
    How many votes will Labour lose to the Lib Dems or Brexit Party
    How many votes will the Tories lose to the Brexit Party or even possibly the Lib Dems.
    What would be interesting is if the Labour Party needed the Lib Dem to get a majority. What would their policy be on Brexit?
    Could the Tories and the Brexit Party work together if necessary?

    Interesting

    Funny that, I don't ever recall seeing those words you used, I suspect you copied and pasted them from a Thesaurus or something.

    A hell of a lot more senior citizens will die this winter like the do every year because they can't afford to heat their homes
    and there will be no faux outrage like there was for 39 people breaking the law and freezing to death

    This post has been rebuilt by the effin dimwits who constructed the post on another thread by accident.

    I do apologies for any inconvenience caused to those who had a problem understanding the video because it was on the wrong thread.

    The original post has been demolished and reconstructed on it's rightfull thread. While the inner details and information are the same, with additional add ons and extensions, the infrastructure itself has been redesigned.

    It's been said the EU agreed the extension to deflect any blame away from themselves for the mess Brexit has become.

    I also think the decision has snookered the remoaners in Parliament by way of the EU giving the remoaners an ultimatum.

    Apparently the EU have said "there will be no renegotiation on the BREXIT deal, it's Boris's deal or no deal". This basically means there will be no more extensions or no more negotiations on the Brexit deal (however, as we know, watch this space). While the EU granted the extension to cover their own evil arses, they've also forced the remoaning MP's into a corner giving Boris and the Government the upperhand.

    Should we eventually get a GE, which is likely, and the Government win, which is also likely, then the new Government is formed and cannot be held to ransom by the previous Parliament. I believe this means all bets are off and everything is back to the start with the exception of Brexit itself because the majority of the people voted for it.

    For those who believe Boris broke his promise to deliver Brexit by 31st October, he didn't.

    Boris and the Government tried everything, including obtaining what the remoaners claimed he couldn't do, but the remoaners stopped us leaving on the 31st. The BBC and other media are desperately trying their best to claim that Boris failed and broke his promise.

    If you promise your kids a trip to Disneyland, and a Hurricane or Tornado damages the place, did you break your promise?

    Both are terrible.

    Are you just trying to drum up comments or are you a pillock?

    Get real, LL. The only 'upper hand' here is that of a drowning man grasping for help, hat he ain't gonna get.

    EU said no renegotiations (obviously subject to change as usual) it's Boris's deal (EU Deal) or no deal.

    Who would have the upper hand, not the remoaners, they have nowhere to turn, they either vote for Boris's deal or we leave the EU with no deal before, or just after the GE.

    After the GE, assuming Boris wins, the previous Parliament cannot, by law, hold the new Government to ransom.

    So who ends up with the upper hand?

    There's no way you are leaving the EU without a deal, that's if you ever actually leave at all. UK doesn't have enough of what it takes to make any meaningful decisions any more. You simply mill about looking for excuses not to do anything. 31st October? Die in a ditch? Yea, sure.

    Brexit will happen, when is obviously the question.

    Didn't you say a while back that no deal off table means we have to get a deal, or words to that effect, yet the remoaners are still trying to get no deal took off table. Means the earlier vote to remove no deal option had no effect whatsoever, as I said it wouldn't.

    Get with the program Brisbane, the remoaners are the ones trying desperately to sabotage Brexit. They can't stop it without the peoples say so, and they know it, or they would've done it by now.

    Apparently Boris has said the Government will go on strike if Corbyn and Co don't pass the deal, but leaving with no deal is still, and always has been the default exit if a deal isn't agreed.

    Leaving with no deal is not so bad considering, and we definitely won't be going to hell, imploding, going hungry, have no medicines, catch on fire or become a third world country. Those who believe it have their heads up their arses.

    Like I said, LL, the poms don't have what it takes to do anything meaningful. Go on strike? You are delusional. I agree with you, you would be OK without a deal,. you just don't have the guts to do it. I don't believe Boris has the support he needs and he knows it. If he were to make any definite move towards leaving with no deal, all his 'followers' would renege on him at the last hurdle.

    Don't tell me I'm delusional when all I did was post the link to the website, plonka.

    I don't think his followers would withdraw their support for a no deal, the Government have put preparations in place, and enacted yellow hammer if No Deal becomes the default option.

    I think the Government will exhaust all options before opting for the no deal exit.

    A lot of remoaners don't want a GE at moment cos they know they'll get voted out, which is the only logical reason they keep creating chaos.

    Corbyn's not interested in becoming PM, he wants to destroy democracy within the UK, that's his aim, same as Blairs who is telling Corbyn to block a no deal, but lib dems and SNP mp's are slowly ganging up on Corbyn. Only a matter of time before the maggot's gone.
