Are you being serious? "Compare a postgraduate career versus one you can do without a GCSE to your name" Aye, I wonder why one is slightly higher paid than the other?

Rayvin 4948 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Aye but to be fair to CT, he's not saying that it's unfair per se. He's just asking why anyone working in a shop or call centre should care about the public sector workers. I suspect he's right in that. The problem really is that everyone has been so shafted for so long by fucking austerity that no one gives a fuck how much damage any of the recent political developments are doing.

Rayvin 4948 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Having said that, did anyone notice that China has just unilaterally cancelled the treaty we had with them over Hong Kong? That, I would argue, says everything we need to know about our place in the world post-Brexit. It's a travesty and only possible because we've castrated ourselves as far as international influence goes. If we need to rely on Trump and China, we're going to get taken to the cleaners.

Tbf, he's being a cunt as usual. Maybe before your time, but he's boasted in the past as earning £70k as a minicab driver. What's that, three times the salary of a paramedic? Yet it's the latter who need TEN fucking consecutive years of pay cuts to balance the books? CT isn't being fair. He's an unskilled, ex-white gold, worker who doesn't pay income tax. He's also a landlord and owns an expensive house iirc, smokes bong, and gets his kicks winding other people up. NEVER be "fair" to CT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 70 Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 ''Government insiders report a dramatic change of mood at the Department for Exiting the European Union (DExEU) since the general election, with growing Treasury influence helping force ministers to choose between prioritising economic interests or sovereignty. This is in stark contrast to the public position of both main political parties, first set out in the Theresa May’s Lancaster House speech in January, in which she echoed Boris Johnson’s boast that Britain can “have its cake and eat it” – enjoying full trade access without conceding over immigration, courts and payments. Labour’s Jeremy Corbyn sacked three shadow ministers on Thursday for departing from a similar position. Yet UK civil servants are now said to be presenting ministers with a more binary choice: accept political compromises similar to aspects of the European Economic Area (EEA), or settle for a much more limited trade deal such as the recent EU-Canada free trade agreement (Ceta).'' https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jul/02/british-officials-drop-cake-and-eat-it-approach-to-brexit-negotiations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironic. "The poison is already running around the system. “We can work with half the Labour party and crush the fuckers,” says one Conservative MP, referring to his Eurosceptic colleagues. A leading pro-Brexit MP says he would not tolerate threats from the “wankers” on his party’s pro-European wing". Funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
