If you're neither left nor right as you claim (although clearly left by all that you have said) then how do you vote? Wait... I get it it; your brand of sanctimony is better than other people's brand of minding their own business, right? Then you must be a Limp Dem!<br /><br />What fun!

Just because you can’t read, or r...Dear Anonymous,<br /><br />Just because you can’t read, or refused to read the two sides to the ‘living wage’ argument, summarised in paragraph three, doesn’t mean you’re necessarily a bad person. It rather proves the point of the piece really: I thank you for your contribution.<br /><br />Having positioned yourself firmly on the left – big state, big welfare society, high tax, borrow and spend, eat the rich and up the workers – you probably don’t really understand how business, how anything to do with humans, actually works. You would prefer there to be no choice and for government to make all the important decisions for you. There are plenty of escapees from former Communist countries who would happily explain to you how that works out.<br /><br />Nobody has to work for less than they feel they deserve and in return no employer has an obligation to pay more than the job is worth. You’re right, of course, that beggars can’t be choosers, which is the main reason that many British firms are so grateful for the choice your style of thinking has given them, to wit: employ an ill-educated, attitude-heavy, entitlement-obsessed, British school-leaver who thinks you owe him a living, or take on a polite, eager and efficient Eastern European who is grateful for the job and will work for less?<br /><br />You stick with your beggar’s philosophy and I’ll carry on with my choices. It’s not a competition, but I bloody well know who’s winning.<br /><br />PS: Say Hi to Russell when you see him!

It's those of us who work bloody hard and claim nothing.

Businesses will be hamstrung, low skill workers required for many small businesses with rocket so they will hire fewer people or have to get rid of some altogether. Instead of investing in the business to make it go they will tread water. <br /><br />Even an idiot must be able to see that if you increase the cost of production you increase the cost to the consumer. In other words the "living wage" will simply increase the cost of living. Who will suffer the most? Those of use in the middle, working hard for an average salary on no benefits at all. <br /><br />You want to earn more go and fucking earn it, you are entitled to squat!@nby83https://www.blogger.com/profile/02563147836114083422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2495971764170848323.post-83985820234354635122013-11-06T12:04:44.353+00:002013-11-06T12:04:44.353+00:00Oh stop with the nonsense of businesses closing if...Oh stop with the nonsense of businesses closing if they have to pay a living wage? FGS! If you're not prepared to pay someone fairly/ don't expect to employ them. Do the bloody job yourself!! Ppl are not slaves.They're not fodder just because they don't have the ability or wherewithal to set up in business for themselves? And, moreover, why shouldn't we expect the govt. to help? It's what they're there for. We elected them to do a job for us? Not their greedy, grasping, corrupt, self-serving selves! With attitudes like this, no wonder they get away with so much.
