Cable Forum - Cameron calls for wage increases in wake of oil price slump

Quote:

British businesses should increase the wages of their staff and pay the living wage for lower paid workers as they enjoy record profits in the wake of the fall in oil prices, David Cameron has said.

In a sign that the Tories appreciate they need to intensify their efforts to meet Ed Miliband’s campaign on the cost of living crisis, the prime minister said that growing profits should be “passed through” in wage rises.

The Grauniad.

Perhaps leading by example by unfreezing or increasing by at least inflation the wages that you, the government, control would be good, Dave.

Do we really have another 4 months of this utter nonsense to go? Do people seriously believe this stuff? :dozey:
