  • You still have rights. Everyone should have a contract by law. Joining a union will get you advice on those rights. Your negative attitude is a primary cause that the Tories have gotten away with so much.

    I agree the Tories have eroded rights past the point of reason, and even those right we have are more difficult to defend. P and O being a case in point. The Tories even kept them (P and O) in line for a £300m contract after this. That does not mean we should not defend those rights. Being complacent is a terrible route to just meander into.

    Full fact shows the average wages dropped by £20 per week in 2018 from 2008. We have had 3 more years since then and now it is very obvious that it is a lot worse. The young and the poorest feeling it the most. A union sub is £10 per month on average. If everyone was in a union then the whole country’s contracted labour force would be £30 per month better off. Not being in a union is a false economy.

    If nothing else please make sure you vote when we get the chance.




  • As someone who hates the way drugs pervades the world we have today, I see this as the most sensible conclusion that we have to come to.

    Drugs are sold by the most callous people in society. When police take one of those out, there is still a market where people want to buy drugs. It does not go away. This means that a competition war takes place to get that new business. Drug sellers being the nice people they are will stoop as low as needed to take out the competition. We are in a spiral where drug sellers only ever get more nasty due to police taking out the lowest common denominator all the time.

    Legalising drugs would not only take out the criminal element, It holds a ton of other benefits too. Education and research becomes more open. Smokers benefitted from this hugely over my life time. In my younger days eight out of ten smoked, now it stands at 13%. We would get more tax into the national coffers. Drug sellers would have a duty of care, so less people will die.
