@_Omarking @ChrisBarnes3D So those people can all loose their job and go on Universal Credit. Which is far less than the current £25k minimum wage.
So I guess we have to shut the government down now then.

@ChrisBarnes3D Any company, big or small who doesn't pay a liveable wage is evil n should close lmao no one cares about ur lil failing coffee shop if u pay ur employees a slave wage
English
minimum wage discourse in the uk rn is amazing because people with zero experience claim that if small independent businesses can't afford an 18% increase in costs they aren't running a viable business while simultaneously complaining that every big profitable company is evil

@Zodiacpl @wisepaddington @robmcccc @torrijoss @recouso You spending a euro on a coffee every 2 hours does not keep the business afloat.
English
@wisepaddington @robmcccc @torrijoss @recouso You’re not only unwise, but also you have no idea whar a business should do and what is important to keep it afloat 😅

Okay guys, had a few cultural shocks in Spain:
> Go to the gym, opens 10am on a Sunday
> Go to work from a coworking, closed
> Go to a coffee shop, no wifi
Absolutely unthinkable in a barely productive economy like the US, yet alone UAE.
Europe is a daylight museum.
English
@MarkOSullivan94 @recouso Because you kill the vibe. Even in an empty cafe.
English
This is the thing which gets me the most
Staff at coffee shops telling you that you can't work there when there's nobody there and there's Wi-Fi
Spain needs Pergamino or something similar where there's great food and coffee, fast wifi along with great spaces to work from and meet up with people

@Eccentric871 @ThirdWorldTakes @lilbabygandhi ‘Transmission and vector control’ — yeah, that means not shoving the hands you touch everything with into your mouth.
English
@ThirdWorldTakes @lilbabygandhi 1) That’s not the causative factor. The main reason would likely be a lack of education, transmission and vector control, proper water treatment, cleaning facilities/supplies, etc.
English
@Walterskol1 @TimTrytitle @richnprivileged @lilbabygandhi “The body part that I use to wipe my arse, butcher animals, dig through the earth, care for the sick, is also perfect for delivering food to my mouth. I am very smart.”
Literally wtf are you talking about. They’re terrible. Hands, until like 100 years ago were utterly filthy.
English
@TimTrytitle @richnprivileged @lilbabygandhi What the fuck does that have to do with the fact that the human hand is almost a perfect tool for intaking food? Being topless or not isn't an evolutionary function.
English
There hasn’t been a single good argument against eating with your hands other than “it looks weird” or “it’s the wrong type of food to eat with your hands”

@BidSurreal @snowflake_blob @BMJYorston Again. You just cut the number of street cleaners. Everything gets a bit shitter, but a few of them get £15ph.

@de33501 @snowflake_blob @BMJYorston The street. Where rats, other vermin / pests, and disease live.

A £15 minimum wage -> £30 000 salary
+ £3450 NI
+ £720 Pension Cont.
= £34 170
For MINIMUM wage - so by definition the least employable people in society
Do the least employable people create £34 170 of value / year through their work?
If so, point to one example

@SellikBhoy @iWalkOutdoors I don’t care what you say you want, I care what actually happens when you get it.
These shitty experiments always end the same way.

Green Party say they plan to ensure everyone has a minimum wage of £31,000pa. I run a business. I don’t earn that. I employ 2 people. They don’t earn that. The business I run doesn’t take in enough to pay that. I’d need to charge customers way more to afford that 🤷♂️. Or go bust.
English
@snowflake_blob @BMJYorston @BidSurreal It’s simple, you buy a robot vacuum for each floor of the building, you fire all the cleaners bar one and you have them clean the bathrooms once a week.
The result is not that things collapse, it’s just that everything gets a bit shitter.
English
@BMJYorston @BidSurreal What happens if you don't employ cleaners and street sweepers...
English
@DamienDown112 @Panchwati2000 @iWalkOutdoors @melindiscott So nowhere then, given the state of our armed forces.
Glad you agree that the magic pot of money doesn’t exist, guess you can grow up now.
English
English
@SellikBhoy @prettyusefulUI @iWalkOutdoors Right.
Then nobody will be better off, will they. Then you’ll be demanding £20ph minimum wage.
English
@prettyusefulUI @iWalkOutdoors No, they'll go up slightly to account for wage rises as they always do.

@irkedgb @____GAZ_____ It doesn’t make sense at all. It clogs the pub up with gormless idiots standing around the tables.

@DarrenCraig1992 @dizzy_thinks You only deserve it if you’re creating enough value to cover the cost of paying you £15ph.
That so many SMEs aren’t hiring or are going bust with MW at £12.70 suggests that you’re not.
English
@dizzy_thinks Love all the comments basically saying ‘we can’t raise the wages, it’ll wreck the economy!!’
Where the fuck have you been the last 20 years? It’s already fucked! We been steuggling this whole fucking time.
Give us a higher wage. We fucking deserve it!
English
Let's be clear, they're talking about a minimum wage of £31,000 per year for anyone in any full time job. It's mental and will kill business, and where it could be afforded will cause massive wage inflation. It's economically illiterate insanity.
Zack Polanski@ZackPolanski
The Mail doesn't think seem to think workers, of all ages, are worth £15 an hour. That's fair pay for a fair day's work, with money workers will put back into the economy. We are the party for workers. Vote Green on 7th May.
English
@DanielA84612544 @danrsvilla @dizzy_thinks Everybody on MW relies on the government to uplift their earnings, everybody not on MW has to demonstrate their increased value to their employer to uplift their earnings.
Two totally different realities.
English
@danrsvilla @dizzy_thinks Im in 30k a year now, so will my employer put up my wage or will I now just be on minimum wage?
English
@NFFCRYNO @areyouretarded_ @footballconfid1 @dizzy_thinks Yes, but “the minimum wage went up, the person below me now earns more. Can I earn more too?” Isn’t a good negotiating position and you’ll just stay on the same wage.
Eventually MW will get within £2-5k of highly stressful jobs, and people will just jump ship.
English
@areyouretarded_ @footballconfid1 @dizzy_thinks Nail on the head here
A minimum wage increase doesn’t stop at the bottom
Base staff suddenly earn same as supervisors so supervisors want a rise
Supervisors close to management now so management want a rise
People are brain dead if they dont understand this policy is chalked

@GONGOGRINGO @Conservamind @_TheJaggernaut_ @Shadows83301889 @BritIndianVoice We’re part of nature and possess the ability to shape it.
There’s nothing inevitable. We could just start trapping grey squirrels. Likewise, we could just stop issuing passports to foreigners.
English
@Conservamind @_TheJaggernaut_ @Shadows83301889 @BritIndianVoice Why do the American grey squirrels deserve to usurp the UK native woodlands from the red Squirrel ?
It's not about deserving.. it's nature. It just is . A more fertile , more equipped, adapted species outcompetes the weaker one.
Just like the British once colonised the world.

I want to ask Britain something today.
Not with anger.
With a genuinely breaking heart.
We built your NHS.
We coded your technology.
We fed your high streets.
We topped your school league tables.
We paid every tax.
We broke no laws.
We raised our children to be proud Britons.
And 80% of us have still faced hatred for being Indian.
EIGHTY percent.
What exactly did we do wrong?
I am still waiting for an answer.

My grandfather came to Britain in 1965. He didn’t speak much English. He worked night shifts in a factory in Birmingham. He paid his taxes. Kept his head down. Never complained. His son became a doctor. His granddaughter is a tech engineer. His great-grandchildren were born British. Three generations. Zero crime. Zero benefits fraud. Zero debt to this country. And still, STILL someone tells us to go home. Where exactly is home supposed to be? 🇮🇳🇬🇧 #BritishIndians
