Valid point.

I'm going on a TUC course shortly to try and understand the in's and outs of it.

It's not a perfect bill. There's things in there I object to and believe companies should have some veto or opt out clause dependent on their industry. For example my own.

Flexible working has been used to dilute collective bargaining. In my depot alone and the grade I represent 20% of the workforce are on them and it's now costing the business money in OT payments and performance. Most of them are on AMs only upto 14:00 Monday to Thursday contracts. All sanctioned by management without review so they are permanent. For a business that runs 363 days a year. 21 hours a day it's a ridiculous situation.

Late shifts and weekends are difficult to cover.

Was talking to a friend of mine who has worked in a signal box for around 40 years should be retiring now 66 but says the money he is earning now is too much to walk away from. Job has been re graded due to added safe space responsibility and O/T, unsociable hours allowances really ramp it up.

I thought by now even you would realise quoting previous fucknuts is of no defence to the current one. It's only a sign you have nothing substantial to add.

BTW Hugh Grant would make a pretty decent PM in my view :-)

I'm not defending Starmer. I'm attacking the hypocrites attacking Starmer for cosying up to Trump.

The hatred some people have for Starmer is off the scale irrational. He’s a fairly dull technocrat trying to do a difficult job with most of the media jumping on any perceived mistake whether it’s real or not. Some of them are that far gone they would rather have Trump or Truss running the country.

social media has done its job well.

Yeah no other politician has ever been piled on before on Bluemoon or in the media in general.

It definitely stated nowadays with Starmer.

Pmsl mate there is defending someone who you rate(others may not) and there is trying to rewrite history.

It’s hilarious reading some of the shite they come out with.

I know and we could find posters who knocked all those PMs but have said Starmer is doing what he has to. Hypocrisy isn't on one side only on here as you know or choose to pretend not to.

Its like fucking question time on here.

Who's Fiona Bruce?
 
This has to be up there with some of the most ill thought through ploitical statements of all time.

"We [the UK Government] will recognise the state of Palestine in September if the Israeli's don't declare a ceasefire"

WTF is that trying to achieve?

1. to piss the Palestinians off by not recognising their State if a ceasefire is declared?

2. to piss the Israeli's off by imposing a ceasefire whilst they still have their hostages still being held.

The have achieved imposing a brilliant no one wins goal for the region!!

Well done Keir. Note this was done as soon as Trump left the UK. Have we ever had such a weak and gutless leader? H e makes Liz Truss look Churchillian.
 
Getting some stick today. Seems like some don’t like protecting our kids or sticking it to those who murder and starve millions

Strange world.
