And in the end when they are in prison, they will claim that they are a political prisoner. Whe the real reason they are in prison is to protect the public from their extremist behavior.

More like, continuing tobeliving in what businesses say, even though they have caused a big economic mess, 6 weeks is not too much to ask!

The cost to the economy would not be that much...

Then when it was clear thet it could not be sustained they resorted to scorched earth tactics and budget time bombs in order to say "I told you so, look at the nasty Torys" when they were rightly kicked in the gonads.

We borrow a lot of money because we wanted to have a higher standard of living even though thanks weaker unions and weaker workers rights (along with deregulation), wages was not rising fast enough to pay for it. In the meantime, the rich were taking control of more and more of the capital, in the end the bubble burst and the rich ended up with a lot of money at the expence of us, this has been going on sicne the 80s

So standing up for working people make you into an extremist?

Reminds me of the Boers who ran South Africa until the 1990s, they called anyone who wanted the end to apartheid as "Communists" and "Terrorists" :D

There are people like Alan that think luxury is a right and doesn't need to be earnt.

I am saying that hard work should be rewarded and that the working people get a decent standard of living, I am also saying that people should be rewarded by how hard they work and how good they are in work, rather than who you parents are

Re: National pay rates may be scrapped for public workers

This thread was dormant for almost a month and since it was bumped I'm struggling to find any relevant, on-topic comments being added to it.

This is a moderator instruction, for all members to follow: Please do not resurrect old threads merely to take them off topic. Bumping threads that have naturally come to an end is disruptive and needlessly clutters other members' subscription lists.

If you missed the topic when it was live, due to being on holiday, at work, or having had your posting rights suspended, that, frankly, is tough luck.

If I have to close any more threads due to a failure to follow this instruction, I will get the frack hammer out. Warning ends. Thread closed.
