OT: The sooner we're out.....

There's nothing fair about hard working people being paid minimum legal salaries.

I said there is only one regulation.

It's a well known website. It's not an article it is a collection of myths mainly created and propagated by the right wing press in UK.

That's what happens to the gullible who can't discriminate between facts and bollocks.

But minimum pay for the maximum work is good for the country. So the Tories have been telling us forever. Except when applied to themselves, obviously. One reason I have a good laugh when Brexteers talk about immigration depressing wages for others. As if they care one jot.

The best lesson of my life, was what the class chanted at the request "What have I told you a million times" as the geoghraphy teacher gave us ALL detention because one f****it had dones something and wouldn't own up, and the rest moaned...

"Life is rough, tough, and desperately unjust, so we had better start getting used to it! Sir!"

Hasn't stopped you going on and on about how unjustly life has treated you, though.

Some of us do. The same way that I once joined a union (along with pretty well all the other Engineers at that company), so that they had enough members to force the company to recognise the union, so that they could represent the designers and CAD operators in a wage negotiation.

I think I can do that..

There is only one regulation specifically for bananas AFAIK.

Not that facts will alter a brexiteers mouthing.

I think your signature at the bottom is missing the reference to private and public schooling.

And without looking (because I found it myself a few months ago) the regulation has a few dozen rules.

The irony is that the *reason* for the EU rule was to replace 28 sets of different rules previously cooked up individually by each EU member.

You've obviously been brainwashed by relentless BBC and EU propaganda. There's no other possible explanation.

Fortunately it appears the EU will be brought to its knees by Italy. The will of the Italian people is being thwarted by their president. They have no democracy as things stand. This time they have nowhere to hide; the complicity is plain as day for everyone to see. And it's the second time around this has happened! There may even be blood.

Quite. Unions work. Why the Tories don't like them. So when a Tory tells me immigrant workers depress wages I laugh.

I didnt pay to go to that school, nor did my parents.

That was in the days when upward mobility was possible, not legislated against.

The world isn't fair. Why should it be? Who told you it was, Enid Blyton?

There's no rule against having a good moan. For some people it's the only pleasure.

Until they try to overthrow elected governments.

Are you talking Tory politicians or Tory voters?

If the latter ISTM that it's perfectly possible to be a Tory voter based upon the principle of them being better at managing the economy

but not to support every other part of their ideology (in this case, their position on workers rights)

And if the former, well I don't actually think that I have heard it said
