    Do I get paid leave - the answer is no

    Do I go to work when I’ll - generally the answer is yes because I have to

    So do I contribute to keep the country going when others ( employed ) can’t be arsed to even turn up - the answers yes to that as well.

    They don’t know their born half of them they’ll be closely followed by teachers and union backed businesses.

    My point is it’s tough for All of us , I know people on less money than them as well for what it’s worth.
    army --I have to agree with all of that, having run a business myself for 23 years after I left the RAF. I employed 5 people, was an expert in my field and could not take one day off because the whole business revolved on my being able to go out and buy the stuff which I needed to sell. No days off, no illness and no help from anywhere else. We would not have survived the Pandemic.

    You are self employed by choice army88. You pick your own hours, work long enough to earn the corn you need to survive.

    You have no nincompoop earning 3 x times more than you do dictating your wage and terms of service.

    Members of the RMT and bucket loads of public sector workers simply cannot survive on yet another 0% "pay rise". If this government cannot take the heat they need to get out of the kitchen.

    Incidentally, which current trade union is trying to negotiate a "30% rise?"

    Ey up, BT's been on the picket line, showing solidarity with the downtrodden. I hope you had more sense than to turn up in your Beamer mon ami.

    Good lad, you weren't with Angela at Glyndebourne as well were you. I'm beginning to warm to Angela, Labour could a do a lot worse. My man at Tory HQ tells me they're far more wary of Angela than they are of Starmer.

    Angie is besties with one of my favourite Labour MP's, I might yet be persuaded to go back and help them see-off the bloody Tories...

    She wont get far in politics because she has a Northern accent and is automatically classed as a thickie from up North.

    She was in Corbyn's Shadow Cabinet CiB, and that's why Starmer shunted her off.
