It’s not an opinion. In Japan it’s well acknowledged and they even have a word for an unfortunate event caused by overworking. Go and have a look and see if you can educate yourself on Japanese working environment and side effects. You won’t have to look hard. I’ll give you a clue of where to start looking, that’s what a nice guy I am. One well known YouTuber recently found himself in the news for all the wrong reasons for visiting a forest where this unfortunate side effect happens on a regular basis, filmed what he found and then posted it on line. Start there.

But was my comment about Japan?

Of course it wasn't.

Then you accuse me of twisting words

Do you agree with Tony that all rights will be lowered in countries involved to the level of Vietnam?

Nobody is getting confused. They are trying to confuse as they don't like the idea of the UK being offered a deal.

Beyond listening to your pro EU crap. You haven't got a clue what you are going on about. Or you do but are making it up as you go along as long as it sounds bad for the UK.
Click to expand...

What are you on about? The Japanese have said they will help us reduce the damage caused by Brexit. In their own interests they can make the TPP more attractive than it is at the moment. Does that sound better than having had the second best economy in the G7 whilst in the EU? Or does it sound not as good? It sounds not as good to me, so that means I am trying to make it sound bad for the UK?

You jumped in on a conversation I was having with another poster about working standards in Japan. Maybe it was over your head. Everything else is so that seems likely.

As I said I think talks have been going on. But Japan needs us to have a trade deal with the EU. So they put the pressure on by announcing it in public. Japan has a lot of money ey invested in the UK.

Now explain the crap you have come out with.

No you said we are pissed off that countries want deals with us. We are „ pissed off „ ( your claim ) that the deal you praise is worse than what we had. You presumably think otherwise or you would be for remain.

So why is it good that the EU has poor countries but not anyone else?

This shows how poor your efforts are.
Click to expand...

You’re very poorly attempting to compare a non democratic single state party country like Vietnam where the average wage is €25 a week and average holiday allowance is 12 days a year to a countries in the EU which has a democratically elected governments, average wages are between €128-€195 a week and average holiday entertainments are 20 days a year plus public holidays. You’ve lost the plot.

Japan is already a suppressive working environment with long hours and stagnant wages. Even then it probably won’t effect Japan as much as other members. Vietnam isn’t the only poor country in the TPP. Also your alternative view is that you think that a one party state developing country like Vietnam is going to be forced to do anything. A minimum standard of working and environmental standards will be set and the bar will be set very low. It will have to be.

Again I think you already understand this and you’re just trying to be a smart arse. Still nice of you to give astute a token hand.

Tony japan have very positive labour laws. Wage stagnation is entirely due to the ILI they operate.

Have you ever worked in japan at all Tony?

More important is what the report says. Basically slams Brexit and Trump. Still Selmayr, Juncker and fish justify the hurt to the world economy... and in particular our own....

„
'An increase in trade barriers would disrupt global supply chains, which have become an integral part of production processes in the past decades, and slow the spread of new technologies, ultimately lowering global productivity and welfare.

'It would also make tradable consumer goods less affordable, harming low-income households disproportionately.'“.

Still, all is not lost, Japan wants us...in the TPP

You said all the other countries would lower their rights towards what the rights of Vietnam are.

It is there in black and white. And strangely enough I even guessed what you would say just before you did. That is how poor your efforts are.

They really don’t. It’s been big news recently for all the wrong reasons. One word for you Karōshi. Now I’ve looked into it a bit more wages aside Vietnam and Japan’s working practices in terms of working hours, forced unpaid overtime and holiday entitlement are not that far apart.
