Usually under the pretence of ‘being business friendly’. When did that equate to selling off the profitable part of public assets and services to shysters, and getting the taxpayer to try and piece together what’s left of the rest? And AS IF Amazon and Google et al would ever pull out of the UK if they were taxed more.Last edited by prinnysquad; 21-07-2022, 14:04. -

So we've got a clear split of do nothing and see what happens or do something and hope it doesn't blow up in your face, i don't trust either of them. for a start Pork Markets has another nick names the Human Hand-grenade due to her habit of ****ing things up. while Human cyborg relations Su 3P0 promising to carry on doing nothing is an Idiotic plan that may make sense in his computer brain form a purely financial standpoint but pays no attention to whats going on in the UK right now.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View Post

It's hardly surprising that his current plan to do sweet **** all isn't endearing him to the Tory membership. If he had any sort of plan to sort the current mess out it would be something but campaigning with sound-bytes like "I'm gonna do nothing till 2023" and "vote for me for more of the same ****e that tanked the tories in the polls" just shows how much of a deluded moron he is.Originally posted by Neon Ignition View Post
An easy win for the government would be to reduce fuel duty their in a position where 50% of what you pay at the pump is Tax people are driving less but this hasn't effected Tax coming in. they could easily cut the Percentage they take and still be making the same in tax that they where making a year ago.
They needs a regulating body to go along with this to stop the disparity between the wholesale cost and the forecourt costs. The AA are constantly highlighting how quick retailers are to pass on rises but never reverse them when costs come down. If they get fuel under control then it also helps gets business costs down too (food production, haulage ect). long term they need a plan to remove our reliance on oil though as a finite resource thats so intregal to our society and the world economy is a ridicules situation to be in.Last edited by Lebowski; 22-07-2022, 08:33.Comment

So a law was just put in were employers can replace striking staff with skilled temporary workers. I see a number of problems with this, not least the moral one...
1: What skilled temporary staff? Where from? It's not like we have freedom of movement from the EU.
2: Temp workers cost more per hour than the staff you are replacing (and still have to pay!), so in the end its probably cheaper to agree to the workers demands
3: Rail workers, NHS staff and other skilled workers have to follow legal requirements while working. What temporary staff has knowledge of these rules and would risk imprisonment if they fail to follow them?Comment

They'll end up cutting corners. Basically bending things so that whilst key roles can't be covered by agency staff they are still able to cover enough functions to soften the impact of the strikes so heavily that those on strike are more likely to give in before the employer does. It's all about reducing the disruption and increasing the fear the employee has. Whilst a train driver yields sway, there are many who might also stand alongside them who are more easily replaced. Just another s**** approach from a Government that is incapable at this point of making a single positive move. The next lot in the cabinet will probably have striking staff lined up with blindfolds in front of public firing squadsComment
