Ye Gods.
Firstly, I abhor the minimum wage because anyone who is not capable of earning £7 an hour or who’s labour is simply only worth £4 an hour is fucked. Totally. They will never work again. They are sentenced to a life on benefits. Imprisoned by the State as bonded non labour. And we all know how the State likes to tell us not to bite the hand that feeds it, eh?
Secondly, the thought that any Jockanese Labour Council worker is WORTH £7 an hour is simply stunning. Zimbabwe here we cunting well come.
Mr Purcell told the conference: “We in the Labour Party are rightly proud of the introduction of the national minimum wage, in the face of fierce opposition from the Tories.”
