Current Affairs The General Election

Getting tasty in here.

I believe in free labour markets. Any worker certainly has the right to threaten and go through with withholding their labour. That's as it should be. But, tit for that, any employer should also have the right to dismiss a worker or withhold pay for non-work. You can't have it both ways.

They do.

Every employer deducts pay for any days out on strike. That’s always been the case. You can make a fairly decent argument both for and against that I believe.

But you can’t be dismissed for taking part in a genuine, lawful democratic strike action. I don’t think you can anyway? And it would be outrageous for that to happen.

We should have Boris bingo on what he said and what he does , this week alone we have had working rights, minium wage and environment spaved up the wall.

That is really an indictment of the people who’ve been elected to parliament.

But it’s okay because they’ll nod through Boris’ Brexit and we won’t have the flocks of Eastern European’s talking funny and stinking.

bye bye Soubry.....

I think it was bye bye to Soubry on election night rather than with this announcement.

She’s been replaced in parliament by someone who will be a blatant ‘Yes man/woman’ for Boris.

Now whatever way you lean politically, left or right, Labour or Tory, I don’t see how you could regard fewer principled people and more fawning sycophants in parliament as a good thing.

Maybe she was listening. Maybe she was just listening to you, which is probably why she was a bit confused.

Read somewhere that the only thing they changed was their employment status lol

Haven't looked at this forum for a week or so. Did any of "the 30" ever declare themselves?

I suspect, Joey, if she continues to listen to you, she will still be confused.
