Whenever his Bournemouth side came to old Trafford it was infuriating to watch with the time wasting and refreshment breaks while someone was "injured"

I wouldn't be posting stuff like that here, regulars in this thread are determined to believe it came from a wet market and anything other than that is "misinformation" or "disinformation"

Wait, people still deny covid was the result of research gone wrong? You still think it came from someone eating a pangolin?

what's the problem?

In retrospect, it is looking like the op was only half right with this thread.

Because a selection of McDonald's staff are on strike asking for £15 an hour and it's obviously not going to happen without the government forcing McDonald's to do so. Soon after, staff at burger king, subway, costa and hundreds of others will obviously start demanding the same and before long...

I wouldn't waste too much time on Abizzz. He clearly doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. The going rate for any self employed tradesman is at least £150 a day. Abizzz seems to think that in a new economic order where the minimum wage is £15 per hour, tradesman won't actually start...

The cost of living there is significantly higher than here so are they actually any better off in comparison to the rest of their society? How much do you know about the Danish economy or are you simply repeating talking points you read elsewhere?

So you’ve resorted to being facetious, good one. Because believe it or not, a skilled tradesman with tools, a van, job insecurity and years of training behind him is not going to go out and graft for a day when someone who just got taken on at the drive through last week is being paid just as...

I’m an employer....of tradesman. I understand my sector very well. I’ve never known any decent tradesman with all the equipment, skills and experience necessary work for anything close to the minimum wage. It wouldn’t take very long for the the wage demands of any skilled worker to follow if the...

So tradesman aren’t going to increase their prices when the minimum wage just doubled because someone will be prepared to live in the past and just charge the same? What do you base that assumption on?

Do you assume tradesmen are too thick to realise what the minimum wage is and are subsequently going to charge more without me having to tell them?

Do you think a plasterer is still going to skim your walls for £150 a day when fast food workers are suddenly on £120? Are teachers going to remain on £30k when the fast food industry is now paying just as much? Are the solicitors working on your conveyancing going to stay on £30k now that the...

Well the short of it is that currently, a £30k paying job takes more than 10 minutes to learn. Even if such a policy came to pass, which let's be honest, it's not going to, minimum wage being jacked straight up to £15 would simply introduce mass inflation to the economy. To quote a perfect...

So who here supports a £30k salary for McDonald’s staff?
