thanks mate, how far is the walk from Edgeware tube? I know it's not the closest but it's easier to get to from Euston than Canons Park.

the main reason I think it's a mess is because I didn't quite realise how entwined in the EU we are/were, I don't think a lot of people did and it is becoming clear to me that we won't be going round the world signing ground breaking trade deals with all and sundry. I admit, it may be too early...

as some one who voted remain I agree with much of your post, the vote has been cast and we must go through the process, I personally don't agree with a 2nd referendum. Do disagree with your first sentence though, it is quite clearly a mess and getting messier.

Does Duck miss this one or is it the week after he goes on international duty?

I've been done a couple of times through Paypal, biggest amount was £200. They sorted it out very quickly to be fair to them.

no we don't and inequality is rising. We shouldn't let it happen, this country has a proud record of looking after the most vulnerable, we shouldn't let that slip away.

thought the Rev and Vow had exhausted the Barnet spares jokes but you've managed to squeeze out another one, fair play!

to be honest it was the 2nd time I'd seen the Fall and the 2nd time he'd had an argument with someone on stage, I found it a bit tedious.

how would giving out zero hour contracts lead to higher unemployment? If 66 percent prefer them then surely giving full time contracts to the 34 percent wouldn't make a great deal of difference. Why did Mike Ashley bow to pressure and stop using them at Sports Direct if they were so popular?

I did, and a few people have posted saying extolling their virtues and saying people want them , if that's the case, giver people a choice between them and full time contracts.

as in take it or leave it. I mean give people a choice between ZHC or full time contracts if people prefer to be on them.

so why not make them optional? If people don't want a traditional full time contract then fair enough.

terrible thing to say. Your lack of empathy is appalling. I had a spell on benefits around 25 years ago. I was skint but we didn't need food banks. we could pay our bills, feed our family and keep a roof over our heads on the benefits we received. We got back on our feet, and have since paid a...

but there hasn't always been zero hour contracts. You know that they are not being used soley for students and casual labour. They are no good for people with families who need a regular income but many find themselves on them as they have become more widespread.

yes, I didn't claim anything else.

to what, the foodbank?

I've done a little bit as well and in my experience I have to concur with what Sickboy has said.

I wouldn't say that's never the case but I wouldn't agree it's the norm. Changes to the benefit system for disabled people and lack of steady work, (zero hours contracts etc), have left a lot of people struggling badly and at the mercy of a very cruel welfare system and in genuine need. The fact...

this country managed perfectly well without zero hour contracts before they came along, it's just exploitation.

to be fair that's a fairly accurate article with regard to the type of users but I don't get the 5 out of 6 are unemployed statistic. Income shock is a massive factor though, though those people using it aren't generally regular users. I don't know how anyone can read that article and be so...
