However, I think they are wrong. I don't think there will be a GE next year. The coalition will make it to 2022 imho and fwiw.

Yes, God forbid they should have to start paying their taxes and providing proper contracts and a living wage.


I can see why they are so worried.

Yet foreign workers and students continue to flock to this oasis of xenophobia and latent racism in an otherwise tolerant continent in their droves.
Are these people stupid?

They tend to flock to London and university towns where encounters with knuckle-dragging Brexiteers are less likely.

I see that the German MEP Olaf Henkel blames the EU for Brexit, comparing the relationship to one where the UK joined a football club for the EU to decide instead to play golf.

Note if you will that this MEP was voted into his position by his German constituents.

Don't worry though, because for sure these refugees will all return to Syria instead of entering Europe. :whistle:

It's a shame Labour don't practice what they preach:

Staff at Labour’s Newcastle call centre aren’t exactly over the moon about a 30p pay rise they’ve been given in line with this month’s increase to the National Living Wage. A collective eye-roll took place as party’s call centre operators were told in an email:

“We are pleased to inform you that in line with the increase of the Living Wage rate, effective from 1st December your hourly paid rate will rise to £8.75 per hour.”

Labour’s manifesto demands a £10 an hour minimum wage for all workers over 18…

Whilst Labour oppose workplace insecurity, party staff receive an eMail on Friday telling them what work is available the following week.

Jezwecan.
