A 32 hour week?

They can fuck off if they think I'm doing overtime

The ideology of the hard left is equality for all. The problem is, their idea of equality is pulling the best down to the level of the worst, instead of the other way round.

I do 16 hrs a week imagined the fucking chaos in workplaces in rescheduling everyone's hours to do 32 hrs a week. if they said 40 hours a week Mon - Friday 9:00 - 5:00 no overtime allowed that would have made a lot more sense.

at 32 hrs a week you'd lose a lot of benefits, but at the same time. you'd be tossing a lot of people on the scrap heap as well because firms would be more likely to cut staff rather than go through the hassle of rescheduling working hours.

You totally misunderstand what they want to do

Maybe

Reports suggest that Labour may trigger no confidence vote next week, plus JC may give speech later today, that would outline emergency benefit plans which may include the scrapping of Universal Credit.

it isnt labour seems the SNP trying it on. Looks like the Lib dem and ex torys are not keen so it would be doomed to failure

Exit polls in The Austrian General election show a win for the centre right Austrian People's party and a collapse in support for the far right Austria's Freedom party (FPÖ).

The collapse in support has been brought about by a corruption scandal that saw the then Vice-Chancellor & (FPÖ) leader Heinz-Christian Strache offering public contracts in exchange for campaign support to what he thought was the daughter of a Russian Oligarch.

This has got me thinking, I was watching Fareed Zakaria GPS on CNN & on it author and journalist Tom Friedman was talking about how Trump's impeachment and how he has said that only Trump could defeat Trump. Expanding that concept wider to include Johnson with his prorogation of Parliament & the investigation into his ties with Jennifer Arcuri as well as the possible indictments that loom large of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu. Is the demise of far-right populism inevitable? Is the one thing that is sure to defeat them, themselves? They do all seem to be a corrupt bunch of rats in a bag (to be fair not exclusive to the far right) is it only a matter of time before these corruptions catch up to them?
