Re: The Tories
 

I hope you don't come across too many 'human dustbins' who make you 'puke', you'll be losing weight!


I don't go into factories now but how come so many of the pubs,bars, restaurants,cafes we go in have some foreign staff, usually Eastern European? They can't all be black economy jobs paying slaves wages-the big chains all have them! Why are they preferring to employ foreigners when(as you say and I agree) we have lots of good hardworking kids wanting these jobs?

Re: The Tories
 

Son of a stockbroker Prime Minister David Cameron pulled off one of his most spectacular sleights-of-hand on Wednesday when he used his vague Big Society idea to get his City mates involved.

Under the guise of giving a helping hand to charities and social enterprises he launched a £600 million fund claiming the City was going to help tackle our deepest social problems.

But two-thirds of the money - £400m - comes from unclaimed cash from bank accounts dormant for more than 15 years and the rest comes from Barclays, HSBC and state-backed banks Lloyds and RBS - forcing the taxpayers to fork out.

The amount of money that will apparently be available as investments must also be put in the context of billions which the government has stopped giving to charities.

The new fund, called Big Society Capital, will "invest in organisations that provide affordable finance to social projects, which will then repay the money from the income they generate."

Mr Cameron said: "Just as finance from the City has been essential to help businesses grow and take on the world, so finance from the City is going to be essential to helping tackle our deepest social problems."

The money made from these investments will be reinvested in new projects in turn, apparently generating new cash.

But it was confirmed that the banks also have a right to any "surplus."

Chairman of the new institution is venture capital pioneer Sir Ronald Cohen,

Many observers have called the Big Society idea just a smokescreen for the massive cuts which the government has swung into action.

The latest move follows a blow when a county council's decision that 10 libraries should be run by volunteers was ruled procedurally flawed and unlawful.

Surrey County Council had "failed to have due regard to equality issues," a High Court judge said.

Mr Cohen admitted last year the fund would not be able to replace government funding.

No-one was available to answer the question: "Why is this fund needed rather than the government directly giving money?"

hes a bad smell that wont go away.this is one of the reasons why i think the public purse should pay for political parties and be capped.this isnt just big business this is dodgy business.

Re: The Tories
 

There's only a bad smell because Labour's movers and shakers have had their noses shoved so far up his arse, and people like him, in the hope they'll get their hands on some of his millions, in the form of donations to party coffers.

Re: The Tories
 

at least they gave the workers rights .this is scary what else are they sneaking through tory scum more to help companies create a "pro-employment landscape" as a change to employment law comes into force.
From today, employees have to work for two years rather than one before they are protected from unfair dismissal.
But the CBI said this change in the law was "the only concrete step" ministers had taken to encourage job creation.
The government said it was "cutting red tape", getting cheaper business loans and boosting investment.
"Some of the key actions we've taken to encourage job creation include introducing measures to get cheaper loans to businesses, as well as boosting investment and creating the most competitive business tax system in the developed world," said a Department for Business spokesperson.
"Of 250 economic reforms announced in 2011, 98% have either been completed or have made good progress."
More changes needed?
On Tuesday, the TUC warned that extending the qualifying period for unfair dismissal from one year to two years could affect 2.7 million people.
The trade union organisation said the change in the law could increase job insecurity and lead to a "hire-and-fire" culture.
But the CBI said the change would give employers confidence to take on more staff.
However Neil Bentley, the CBI's deputy director general, said: "As we approach the halfway point in this Parliament, we've heard plenty of talk, but seen little action.
"Employers want to see the government doing more to create a pro-employment landscape."
John Longworth, director general of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said: "Doubling the qualifying period for unfair dismissal to two years sends the right message to business.
"Although this is a good start, more changes are needed if the government is to create a really hard-hitting deregulatory package for the labour market.
"This includes reforming redundancy rules, introducing a no-fault dismissal route and following through on fees for tribunal claimants."

Re: The Tories
 

Answer to that is simple but long winded...Fine Arts are a crap company, with crap working conditions, don't give a stuff about their workers, have no long term future workforce plan, have no career paths, offer no training, offer no qualification progression, pay crap wages, hire and fire at will under the guise of 'seasonal working' (which incidentally is also crap because they produce items for every season)

Considering that the rate of pay is around 3 times the amount they'd get back home, they are transients, they don't care about future prospects or working conditions and aren't always aware of UK employment law, they are ultimately the easier option for employment.
