Well done REMAINERS,

 

"The price paid gave the illusion of good value. But the bid, when unveiled in July, was at a moment when the pound had been wounded by Brexit shenanigans."

They were simply on the wrong side of history.

 

But the past has gone. We must build for a new tomorrow.

I agree with you about the past being the past. I voted to remain and probably would again but saying that I feel quite comfortable with what I think the deal will be with the EU. I honestly think both sides will take a pragmatic approach and will come up with a good deal that suits each other.

An old story and a load of bull from.... 2017?

 

Despite that, the phrase "he would say that wouldn't he" springs to mind. It was written by an executive of the TUC who should also realise that the WTD is not set in stone and many workers can still work over the so called limit of 48 hour a week because they can and want to, and not because they are forced to.

I'm sure your boss appreciates your desire to work yourself to death for his benefit

 

of course, if the government were to present and  pass legislation guaranteeing no diminution of workers right then this whole conversation would become moot.

As said many opt out of the WHD and work overtime because they want to and not because they are forced to.  PS I dont have a boss..

Then maybe we should wait first until we find out what they are going to do instead of judging them on what has not happened. It's also worth considering that a great deal of those workers rights were actually put in place by the UK and then later incorporated into EU law.

Because they can't afford not to.

Let us build the brave new tomorrow as envisaged by comrades Cummings, Johnson, Rees-Mogg, Gove etc - make the rich richer, less for the rest of us.
