General Election June 8th

[Blue Mooner]

£8 an hour works out at £16k+ a year, we're a small company in a competitive field and costs are crucial. Not sure what you'd expect a minimum hours pay to be.

We had to freeze all wages this year as we've invested £1million in new equipment and raising the minimum pay won't help it pay for itself as quickly as we need it to.



No matter when it comes in it'll have an affect on SME's. It'll cause redundancies and division in the work place.

It will also mean businesses looking more seriously at automation, robotics, how they can get efficiencies and remove headcount to reduce costs. It will make this business cases that bit easier to make so jobs will be lost. Has there been any real detailed study by Labour on the impact that a £10minimum wage would have on businesses or is it just a good sound bite number to entice traditional labour voters back into the fold?

I run a small business and we are hanging in by a thread .I absolutely dread Diane Abbott being in charge of anything and think we will be royally stuffed if Jezzer and his mates win. Simple as that for me .

We're not going to be "royally stuffed" no matter who gets in.

Or it could be absolutely on the money. Depends on your political persuasion.

Not in this case it doesn't.

Dialogue consists of talking & listening to all sides of the argument. Show me one example of Corbyn talking to Unionist terrorists, sitting on a platform with them or inviting them to the House of Commons.

I've taken a look.

So he met with Ian Paisley. Good on him. Now I'll admit that Mr Paisley was a bit abrasive and pretty confrontational, but I'm fairly certain he was never a member of a terrorist organisation. Neither was Gary McMichael. David Ervine was, I'll give you that. However by the time he met Corbyn he had renounced violence and was following a career as politician with the PUP and was a leading figure in the peace process.

So, you've not been able to provide me with even one exampe of Corbyn talking to Unionist terrorists, sitting on a platform with them or inviting them to the House of Commons.

I'm still looking therefore for examples of Corbyn talking with Unionist terrorists.

Are any of his "friends" in Hamas Unionists?

Careful, Fumble will be on at you for being flippant.

Pleased to see BM is still doing tangents to death and beyond.

Vote Labour - it's the choice for change.

Theyre not his friends, jezza cannot stand cowardly murderers but by calling them his mates he knows terrorists groups around the world will drop their weapons and hug.

After decades trying to solve complex issues if only less substantial minds had only thought to be nice in a social context.

A minutes silence here
Help for a jailed murderer there

God bless him

Well they wouldn't would they - so long as things work out on Thursday then they will be happy to see him cement his role as Labour Party leader

Have you spectacularly missed the point? Or have I? You asked about comparing Corbyn with Mandela. I assume you admire Mandela but he was leader of a terrorist organisation (at least that's what Thatcher said in resisting sanctions against apartheid). Short selective memory or just more anti-Corbyn hypocrisy? Tory students wore "hang Mandela" t-shirts

 

[SWP's back]

Weep and howl you rich for the miseries coming upon you.

I'll pass as it's all bollocks and that.

 

[SWP's back]

Scots vote Labour. The momentum has well and truly shifted we need your help over the line.

Scots, please vote SNP and get the independence you deserve.
