TRon Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Workers on 6 pound a week with a weeks money deducted if they take a day off at one end of the scale. Footballers on 60,000 a week at the other end of the operation whether they turn up or not. A great advert for the fairness of free market values. If you go to matches or buy merchandise, you are just as responsible - if you don't like the system, boycott it...but how many will ? As for the 'Free Market', what about the Zils that the hierarchy in the Soviet Union used to ride around in whilst the plebs were making do with the oh-so-reliable Moskvitch ?? Fans of Socialism are like St Augustine - 'Oh Lord, give me chastity - but don't give it YET..!' They want it to happen, but not for themselves. Yeah your right, social reform is a bad idea. Lets ban the minimum wage in this country while we are at it that way we might even be able to afford to give the corporations CEO,s and the bankers a bit more on their bonuses, poor souls. Who mentioned Bankers ? However, it has obviously escaped your notice that the politicians(including those pretending to be 'On the Left')have wrecked the UK by making its economy dependent on Financial Services - what the hell else do you think has allowed the current shower to keep spending money on non-jobs to keep them in power, other than the huge tax revenues the Chancellor has been picking up from the spivs in the City of London ? The Germans(and the French)have kept - and subsidised - their basic industries while UK companies were being merrily sold off to the highest bidder...WITH the approval of BOTH major UK political parties. Wake up and smell the coffee mate - the Asian nations like China & India are making stuff at a FRACTION of the costs in the West because of low wages, and unless outsourcing is stopped that will continue to wreak havoc on Western jobs. EVERYONE in Europe or USA that wants cheap goods is to blame because they BUY them... If you feel that strongly about exploitation of the workers, DON'T buy cheap goods from China etc...trouble is, you'll have a bit of a job finding similar products made in the West that are anywhere near the price for the same quality... Over to you......go on, tell me I'm wrong.... Lets not forget that cheap labour isn't just restricted to clothing sweat shops. All these banks, energy providers and the rest who are out-sourcing their call centres to India, what would the reasoning be behind that then?

Over to you......go on, tell me I'm wrong.... Best post I've read this year. Nowt much to do with Ashley but sums up very succinctly why the UK is f*cked. I.E. a vastly bloated public sector created by politicians who want to be re-elected and financed by tax revenues from the now much maligned banking sector, which afore mentioned politicians turned a blind eye to when it was getting out of control becuase it was paying for the vastly bloated public sector............................... and so on.
