Just out of interest how many lads on here have had a pay rise in the last few years or given their lads a pay rise in the last few years?

It's gone right quiet round here just recently.

I'm sorry Commando, but it's not socialist bullshit, its fact.

 

 

 

Mrs Egg used to get a yearly pay rise if she met her KPI's, blah blah. This would be a percentage of her wage. She would get 3% of that wage. Now they get a yearly bonus so that 3% isn't taken into account. In short she gets less of a pay rise each year.

 

 

 

The company she works for are making more money each year mind.

 

 

So is corybn going to force Mrs eggs employer to give her a pay rise?

If she is not in the public sector (which it sounds like she isn't since she is getting a bonus) how will labour help?

Genuine question as I don't understand the correlation between the 2

I must admit I form my opinions based on the things I believe to be facts.

The problem is that todays facts are sometimes proven to be tomorrows 'misunderstandings'. If you read from different sources the 'facts' are different.

 

It depends on what you read as to what you believe. Hence the healthy variety of different interpretations.

 

There does seem to be an underlying rule in the space-time continuum of economics that says....

Spend more than you earn => Misery (or at least economic constraint)

Earn more than you spend => Joy (and economic freedom)

 

This applies to the family budget, clubs, companies, service organisations and even....

The Government.

 

In the summary of economic proposals published prior to the elction, both major parties were planning to fund their promises by borrowing Zillions and allegedly balancing the books many years hence (probably when the other party is in power).

 

Labour did dabble with the idea of a tiny rise in taxes (at some point in the future) but the rest of the balancing act from both sides was to carry on increasing debt and try desperately to juggle the spend to appease as many potential voters as possible.

 

I will admit I chose to believe what I read (and I might therefore, by my earlier comment, be wrong) but I suspect both parties wanted to be as popular as possible for the upcoming election.

 

My question to the politicians is this.

 

Do you believe that the electorate is really so thick that it cannot understand that an increase in tax (possibly to the pre-Thatcher days) would allow the provision of the services we all seem to crave (health, education, co-ordinated strategies for transport etc.)?

 

Or are you so scared of losing votes so you just keep buying sweets for 'the children' with money borrowed from Bermondsey Dave (who will one day want repaying).

 

With such a spineless bunch at the helm I fear their ability to negotiate anything from the Brexit talks (or whatever they will call them).

 

I am not wealthy enough to go private (so I waited 6 months for a shoulder op) but I do earn enough to pay more tax. So don't tell me that private medicine gives me a choice while you run down funding of the NHS

 

Politicians are a bunch of....

Looks like it will cost more than a billion anyway.

 

DUP deal to prop up minority Tory Government set to cost billions as party hints it will be 'back for more'

 

What gets me is that the tories were giving it "Austerity is necessary". Labour were saying the opposite. Now the Tories have turned their back on their own electorate and admitted that it was in fact a choice.

 

How anyone can have faith in them to look after our best interests is beyond me.

Before I answer this. Have you put your prices up over the last few years?

I'm not surprised that you can't answer to be honest.

I'll tell you after you answer my question as to how labour will make Mrs eggs get a pay rise! (I'm assuming she is not on minimum wage therefore getting it from there, unless from the knock on effect that if the bottom rises so must everything else)

Maybe answered my own question there!
