Off topic, but I respectfuliy disagree with your implication.

 

I think Ms Priti Patel is a nasty piece of work, and I don't particularly like her, but it's not her Indian heritage that I have a problem with.

 

Let's agree to agree on that.

Unsold fish are rotting on the docks and companies are hitting the wall but Mogg says the fish are now ‘happier’ because they’re ‘British’.

We’re being governed by a deranged cult.

This might explain a great deal

How much longer do we have to endure this vacuous condescending drivel?

It's not harmed the career of Priti 'let me be absolutely clear' Patel  :huh:

Yes, but the paper work needed to take their catch to France after Brexit means it's easier to dump it this side of The Channel.

quote a few articles out today, talking about government plans to scrap our rights to refuse to work more than 48 hours per week.

 

"your employer will be able to sack you for not working 50+ hours per week"

 

they didn't put that on the bus...

and the usual right-wing grifters on twitter telling us that we actually want to work *much* longer hours.

 

(even though we can already opt out, we just can't be sacked for saying no)

OK. The FT  wants me to pay - no thanks. The other two merely refer to an un-named 'source' - so all-in-all a load of unverified speculation.

The government has rejected the alleged claims. 

 

Nothing to see here. Just a load more stirring from the papers filled with  "what if..." and "may be"and "possibly".

 

It's all the same debate it was being bandied about back when brexit first got voted upon.

The ERG is flying that kite early, to see what kind of traction it's getting from employers.

 

There are a few more kites like that getting flown atm, all mooted under 'Operation Bleach', that are not getting reported. Even the reintroduction of the death penalty (don't expect the HO to confirm that one anytime soon, any more than it -and any other Ministry- would confirm those other kites).

 

It's all about political re- (pre-) -positioning.

 

It's not as if British workers can easily vote with their feet under FoM anymore. And employers are going to need something to keep the cosh on them, after all those EU immigrants went home last year during the Covid crisis. Plus they can be fed on fresh, quality seafood for cheap now.

 

Zero sympathy for those fishermen who were championing Leave loud and clear, pre- and post-refrendum, to pull the ladder to themselves at the expense of other fishermen from Europe. These weren't conned: they were the con.
