In other news, a survey of small business owners finds 53% have either made or will have to make staff redundant after the National Insurance hike.
I wonder how Reeves thinks people who are unemployed are going to pay income tax?
They obviously are not very successful businesses.
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highways“If it’s any consolation I thought Cooper’s statement in the Commons was as good and dignified as it could have been under the circumstances and Badenoch’s reply truly vile (no surprise there then)”.
They didn’t want an inquiry, now they want an inquiry.
Forget about the left or the right, it’s much much bigger than that, dealing with a disaster for this country which is pure evil.And protecting pure evil in my book is just as bad as the perpetrators of the crimes, that’s why it continues today.
I’m no supporter but why has the treatment of Tommy Robinson been as it is? It appears he was only telling the truth, but those scared of upsetting a certain demographic moved to silence him in no uncertain terms.
PROTECTING EVIL!I’m very very uncomfortable about this, the political side of things, even people on here are protecting their own side irrespective to the protection they have been giving to the evil which is going on.
And the politician’s and those in authority who turned a blind to this, I hope judgement day comes very soon for you.
“They obviously are not very successful businesses.”
They were until they got hit with draconian anti-business tax increases by a government containing no one who has ever run a business or who likes them very much.
Agree GSP. Aside from the whole political class, police etc, the media needs to be held to account as well. The likes of Jeremy Paxman and Emily Maitlis (to name just two) viciously attacked anyone who raised the subject.
I am still dubious this inquiry will bring anyone to book. There has been plenty of time to shred records. But a reckoning is long overdue.
Unemployment rates for the last 50 years , peaked at near 12.5 million in 1984 , currently below 5 million which is around the lowest it’s been in 50 years , but hey let’s not let facts get in the way of a good scaremongering
There were a lot of unemployed people in the early ’80s, I recall it exceeding 3 million so I’ve no idea where you’ve dredged a figure north of 12 million from. Certainly it was a tough time. I had three different employers in 1982 and was still out of work for about 5 months. Thatcher didn’t care, inflation was the problem as she saw it.
The way of calculating the unemployment numbers has been altered several times over the years.
I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains
I've walked and I crawled on six crooked highwaysThe numbers I used inc school leavers , point I was making is the current unemployment numbers aren’t high , there are jobs out there , my work isn’t as busy as usual however while belts have been tightened no staff have been let go
I haven’t watched it but Jess Phillips was interviewed on the BBC’s “Newsnight” last night. It is now on the BBC’s YouTube channel.
At the time of writing, there are just over 500 comments below the clip. Almost all of them are critical of her. Several call for her to resign or be sacked.
Given how Labour activists are usually very active online, it is quite telling how almost no one has come to her defence.
Given there was another vote in Parliament on Friday on the ‘assisted dying bill’ …… I still can’t write that phrase and not be saddened or laugh at the sheer stupidity.
A little while ago the government slipped out without any fanfare a cost analysis of the proposed changes.However what I found most disturbing in this paper was nothing to do with the money that may be saved but a small piece that ‘once established about five and a half thousand people would choose this method’,far more than Leadbeater and her supporters have ever let on.The changes have made this an even more unsafe bill to pass with a panel to decide.On the panel they say will be a psychiatrist … perhaps someone should point out the Royal College opposition to this bill?
At present it’s confined to those with only a limited time to live but if passed I guarantee,as in other countries that have accepted this death on demand for other things will follow.
Many elderly will be coerced in what others tell them is the right thing for them to do.
As I said previously I hope their God can forgive them for I never will.
good luck to allCan’t agree with you on that Blackcountry.
As long as it’s properly regulated, then it’s quite a civilized approach to quality of life.
We’ve had it since 2016 and it’s been a huge relief to those instances I know of. It’s inhumane for somebody to live a life of serious pain and indignity, while knowing there is no cure and only a lingering death awaiting them.
“perhaps someone should point out the Royal College opposition to this bill”
Perhaps as a college, but don’t think for one moment decisions aren’t made discreetly under certain circumstances to ‘allow’ people to die.
If a person was to keep a dog or horse in those conditions, they’d rightly be arrested and charged…….and I would suggest you’d be in agreement with that.
For context;
– ~550k die every yr in England
– 1/3rd sudden deaths, 2/3rds expected (half non-cancer, half cancer)
No matter how good palliative care is, many will suffer terribly without having the agency to end it at a time of their choosing.
Robust safeguards are needed (Thatcher would have loved it)If there is one thing that should remain the choice for any man
or woman on this earth, is that when it comes to the time, new drugs
and all, that they simply cannot endure this life anymore. God forbid
that we have to make such a choice, but to use phrases like ” Many elderly
will be coerced in what others tell them is the right thing for them to do”
is there to scare people into thinking they will be pushed over the edge for
the sake of convenience. What kind of society do you think we are living in,
is far removed from the one I am living in. Do nurses kill babies? yes. Do
doctors kill old people for their malevolent delectation? yes. So is it possible
that someone could push someone into making a choice that suits their own
repugnant means? yes.Does this mean the body of decent, and brave, people should suffer needlessly
because there are a small body of unscrupulous conniving, for loss of a better
term, people who would take advantage. If there comes a time in my life, even
baring in mind family, when life is more frightening and agonising than can
be borne in life, do not take that last refuge of hope away from me.
