More Socialist panic mongering ? I think you'll find most other European countries use the 2 year mark as the point of termination/extension of contract. I know they do here in Germany & the Country seems to be managing well enough. I personally have never had any problems with the Companies I've worked at, but then again I'm prepared to graft giving my bosses no reason to want shut of me, unlike some I've met.

Does that mean Labour support the working class ? As discussed elsewhere Labour support the not working class more than the working class

Margaret Pilkington · 01-10-2011, 20:20

I remember seeing a documentary where people were asked if they were working class or middle class. They went to a housing estate somewhere down south and asked a single mother if she thought she was working class......'no...I'm middle class' says she.
The interviewer asked he why she thought this, her reply was.....'Well....I must be middle class because I don't go to work'........so now you know!

Leave him to his fantasies.

He still believes that war mongering, multi-millionaire money grabber Blair, is the working man's saviour.

Democratic process has failed because we do not elect those who shape our destiny in Brussels........our own political parties are too wimpish to go to the country and ask the electorate........they know what the answer would be....and figure if they don't ask the question then they don't have the thorny problem of getting us out of the EU.

Thankyou for the clip........I have always been moved by choral singing........and abide with me is a favourite of mine.

I stood in Canterbury Cathedral a couple of years ago and listened to the choir singing this and the big bulbous tears crept down my cheeks.......so you aren't on your own.
You need to join my old mushters club....there are a few of us in it.

You seem to be in good company in the tear department. Churchill told his private secretary: "I blub an awful lot, you know. You'll have to get used to it". And Sir John Colville said of him: "[He] wasn't scared to be emotional."

I don't cry easily...but lovely music, beautifully sung just gets me.
I once went to the opera at Manchester Opera House. Madama Butterfly.....that made me blub like a baby....my escort had a very damp shoulder by the end of the performance....and I had a very shiny red nose.

I see you watched "Dispatches" on Monday night too Rindi, wonder if C'Mon did

You know I've never met C'Mon but I'm sure I'd recognise him if I bumped into him, he'd be limping badly seeing the number of times he shoots himself in the foot
