Well you're in luck, because Labour are implementing many of your crackpot ideas, such as Net Zero and mass immigration :thumbup
I never mentioned large corporations running the show, in fact many of them need broken up so competition can thrive, nor did I mention that we ought have no rules or regulations.
You seem to read into a lot of things I've never said.

Milly, I've read enough of your posts in the past to get a clear enough picture.

Net Zero isn't some fringe obsession as every major country is moving in that direction And cutting immigration without fixing pay and conditions will just make things worse because the UK does have shortages in health, care, logistics and agriculture. And yes I get your views on immigration, it does need to be managed properly and it hasn't for years but blaming them for every major issue from housing to wages lets the ones who are actually pulling the strings off the hook.

If you're saying you support some rules, some regulation and that corporate power needs reining in, that's great, as it's not far off what I was saying from the start. :thumbup

So maybe we don't disagree on as much as it first seemed, we just differ on who we think is really to blame when the systems's failing.
The Central Banks and Global corporations are to blame.
Too much power is concentrated in too few hands.

i believe it was the labour party who first put the idea to privatise the post office/royal mail, mandleson i think,the coalition simply followed it up,
Michael Heseltine was the first in 1994 under John Major. The Brown government attempted 'part'-privatisation in 2009.
The machine stops.

You're not totally wrong there as they are part of a system that reinforces a system where wealth flows upwards. But they are not the only problem.
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

anyone who like myself just believes that it's lies lies and more lies from every single politician no matter which party they belong to, they are simply in it for themselves
i thought that pr!ck jones who grilled our ceo in that meeting the other year seemed ok until labour got control and he's never thought another minute on the RM situation
no matter what political party is in charge, our job is simply to try to see it through until you can maybe retire, there is absolutely no incentive for any newcomer to stay within the company due to the 2 tier workforce that our labour backed union said would never happen
the pay for full time minimum wage is roughly the same has 30 odd hours with RM with an hour or so added on
absolutley no incentive to try and be loyal to a now foreign owned company
Correct on all counts!

Nice read for our Right leaning friends and others in fact , The UK is not alone in this phenomenon . It is becoming increasingly harder for any Party/ Persuasion that gets into Power to swim against this tide . We can see before our very eyes , that even our Unions are pretty powerless now and arguing the toss about how many immigrants illegal or otherwise are acceptable is frankly immaterial , when we can see so much Damage has already been done and the Cover Ups etc put in place.

Unfortunately, politics has a huge influence over our pay settlement due to Rachel from accounts mad idea of taxing jobs.
Usually tax is used to discourage the public from doing things that are bad for them.

This thread is about a payrise for postal workers..not for political point scoring which it has descended into..as for the rest of your reply borders i do not really care.
