It’s okay when people like you turn it around, off anybody can come into hardship. But you didn’t take advantage of the Fact that you paid your bills, fed your family and kept a roof over your head, in those circumstances. But now too many people take advantage of others generosity, and of the...

He is right about 0 hour contracts. Think stats are that 32% want full time contracts the rest are happy with what they are on. And he has already shared the food bank research earlier in the thread

Yes but at least 0 hour contracts give some cash flow to those that can’t get full-time employment. For example 3 of the people I worked with at the pub, had set hours, to work around kids school life, and were well into their 40’s and they didn’t want anything more than the 0 hour contract. 3...

Haha I’m sorry too ;) i’d join the Hoffman fans for buying Coventry if I was!!!! Yeah no I get that and fair enough, and i’ll Be honest I don’t know a lot about the Danish tax system, and I have no problem with paying tax as I say. But I think from what you are saying in general it’s a much...

My experience of working with people on zero hour contracts, is that they are happy like that. They are often demotivated and don’t wish to work a lot of hours. This is just my experience from during my RN application. But I held 3 0 hour contract roles during that time and only 3 members of...

What do you mean why?

Times change, and population is continually rising. More people looking for jobs than there were a couple decades ago. Also take into account more jobs going to machinery...

Well the solution of getting rid of zero hour contracts and driving up minimum wage will almost certainly mean less jobs, and higher unemployment?

Okay so you haven’t really made a point against what I said? I agree the middle earners pay more that’s correct. But again that isn’t right. Well is it? I don’t feel this way personally , as I always like to push myself to the next level. but I have heard people argue, that they have been...

I don’t take that much home, but the fact that you take home only 60% of what you earn if you did earn 200,000, is ridiculous imo. I don’t see how it is fair and equal. That if you earn more you pay more. I like the idea of a set rate for everybody, over a certain amount, it may not be...

I believe corporations like google and Amazon should pay more tax ofc before that’s brought up

No ofc it’s not, but say I earn 200,000 a year, why is it right that I only take 116,000 home? I have no problem with paying tax, but I do when there are people that sit on their areas all day, and expect hard working people to pay for it.

I agree the tories, haven’t been great since Cameron left, but then I do think they have an impossible job. I don’t think labour are the right option, so for it’s just the lesser of two evils. And as someone who’s career is in the Navy, I don’t trust Corbyn as leader. I don’t like May and I do...

Also I don’t like the idea of taxing individuals for earning more money? So if you are successful in life and work damn hard to get to the top of the business, you get punished for doing so? I don’t see how that’s fair.

Where do you think Corbyn gets his numbers from? I guarantee it’s a financial expert?

Well considering how much of the younger vote was gained by promising to get rid of student debt, yet it had now been proven by financial experts that their costs were nowhere near what they said... yes the tories have broken promises, but circumstances change, and every government in the...

Just like Corbyn shouldn’t be making a load of claims that he can’t keep, to get gullible young people to vote for him.

What confuses me is why Labour are treating it like some huge victory? Okay yes the Tories lost their majority, but Labour still isn't in power? They have more seats, and sure May ended up with egg on her face, but Labour is acting like they have conquered the world.

Yes I agree, but the pound was always going to slump straight after the Brexit vote. And even if Labour were in charge with different policies, it wouldn't have dramatically recovered, because until there is a realistic and agreed plan in place in terms of trade, free movement etc, etc. then the...

But you cannot prove that this wouldn't have happened under labour also?
