I would care more if the staff at Sports Direct had anything to say about it.
People complaining on other peoples behalf.
Good point, but dare they say anything that would jeopardise their income?
Bit of a flip side at SD, in that Fat Mike does pay his staff big bonuses from time to time. The corollary is flexible working practices which help generate the profits. The problem is always that people abuse the system and so it has to be regulated properly, which it isn't at the moment. Milliband can say what he likes on the subject, but it's not going to change anything unless he gets into power and then has the nads to follow-through. Cameron could regulate it properly in the time before the next election, but what are the chances of that? Unless Milliband gets away from soundbites he has less chance of winning than Farage, unless he's relying on a coalition of his own.
and if they do, the Tories will point their finger and blame them for 'rising unemployment'
Sid the bonus payments are only to staff with a contract of employment so the 80+% on zero hour contracts don't get it. Just as they don't get holiday pay or sick pay!
That's just it - Labour make a change to help "People" but Tories use it to target tham - much like the deficit which was caused by Northern Rock. Had Labour stood by and done nothing when Northern Rock went under, the Tories would say "The Labour Government didn't help those people who lost x y and z" - instead, the Labour Government left us with a massive financial deficit - which was actually not even close to being there before Labour bailed out Northern Rock. Selective information is all we'll ever get to be fair.
The issue now is that Miliband is an idiot (much like his brother) and the Tories I wouldn't vote for if they were the only party as I'm not well off!!
Who is the best of a bad bunch? I have absolutely no idea. I jjst know that, working for the NHS, the Tory Party is the worst we could have in power
Tories = Old Etonian kernts
Labour = Trotskyist kernts
LibDems = Kernt's kernts
SNP = Jock kernts
UKIP = Fascist kernts
Greens = Treehugging kernts
Loony Party = Kernts pretending to be "characters"
My politics have become less sophisticated over the years, it must be said.
