Broken Britain

[Undertaker]

Planning for 3 weeks over Christmas. Planning for 3 weeks at Easter. Who on earth you trying to kid?

Too many know the loop holes and know what they can get away with. Public sector want everything their own way. Take, take, take. just sack the f*** that strike. Lets see the smug little shits faces then.

Teachers work bloody hard and in my opinion the extended breaks only make up for the extra hours worked through evenings and weekends.

However striking is just selfish behaviour and shouldnt be tolerated. What about all the parents who have to take UNPAID time off to look after their kids?

two weeks at Christmas, two weeks at Easter. First week of both spent sleeping usually.

I bet you get shafted at work, too selfish and self interested to organise for better conditions for anyone but yourself. The private sector used to have strong unions then Thatcher came along and both tied the unions up in red tape and convinced the working class they were now middle class cos they owned their council flats and could afford to take two weeks in the Costa Brava..

This lack of infrastructure argument when dealing with immigration is often a valid one. It's usually those on the lower echelons of society that feel the brunt of any extra demand for services. However, let's not pretend that the Daily Mail is solely concerned about that. If they were, they'd be demanding that the biggest beneficiaries of immigration - the business class who profit on the back of cheap labour costs, increased demand resulting from immigration, and access to the huge single market - should be paying more tax to provide the missing infrastructure. But they're not - because that would mean that the Mail and its fellow travelers would have to stump up too.

They've got a bigger agenda and it's largely anti-foreigner and anti-EU. They despise the European Union - largely because the EU at its best promotes and protects workers rights in ways that the more right-wing Tory and New Labour robber barons despise. Hence, the mad opposition to the social chapter and Working Time Directive - stuff that, by and large, has immeasurable benefits for ordinary people (health and safety, etc.). It's no coincidence at all that Cameron and his ilk want a single market without any social benefits to the people - but they're not even the extremists. If anti-foreigner sentiment can be whipped up, the real extremists - as opposed to mainstream business who put up with some compromise for access to a huge market - can run their businesses without any "interference" from meddling foreigners. The more domestic the business, the more resentment for the EU "imposing" basic conditions on these "entrepreneurs".

Let's also admit that a significant section of society is racist. As such, many people often become "uncomfortable" with anti-immigration sentiment because they know that even if some of it is valid (as with the infrastructure and strained social services point), they know that such sentiment is very often a dog whistle to right-wing nutjobs. This dog-whistling often makes casual racism acceptable. You soon have ostensibly respectable people openly telling us that "I've no time for the BNP, but..."

People who strike in order to win people like themselves better conditions at work should be sacked, now that is broken Britain....

People like me who aren't in the teachers pension scheme cos I can't afford to be yet still go on strike for those who are should be sacked? ha ha.

You don't know anything about the public sector.

'If we cant organise and improve our conditions then you can't either'. Moronic

indeed, it's health and safety/political correctness gawn mad, lol.

The editor of the Daily Mail is on 1.3 million a year, I bet he has some Albanaian cleaning his house and gives them cash in hand.....

[Patrick Bateman]

It doesn't really matter what the editor of the Daily Mail is on though; it's a private business concern. I'm sure the editor of the Guardian is on a similar figure. At least the Mail isn't running a tax dodge.

[raggatwin]

The point is that the editor of The Daily Mail rails against cleaners, lollipop people, disabled transport drivers, meals on wheels people etc etc for wanting to improve their conditions, to earn a living wage when he is COMPLETELY divorced from the world in which these people live, people who are making decisions as to whether to buy their kid a new pair of shoes or pay their gas bill, that is my problem....

How do you know the owners of the Daily Mail are not fiddling their tax, many big businesses do, it's not like being taxed at source if you are a public sector worker.

Public sector workers are not all taxed at source.

That's not an outlier. It's precisely my point; hypocritical BBC employees, Guardianistas and public sector workers who preach about what everybody else should do whilst ravaging the teat of public finances. Pol Pot had the right idea; bourgeois lefties should be annihilated.

Nah, one just googles it then uses the cached internet record in order to read it.

This is the woman who spoke on Question time, No doubt the normal people on here will slate her, her grandfather was Polish so I suppose she has no right to a voice in the matter of mass immigration??
Well, she is absolutely correct in what she is saying and like me she does not blame the people coming over but the system, there happy? I realise now that I cannot give an opinion on this place without having to cover my point and state the obvious to prevent pathetic accusations of racism from the same old people on here.
