You will get about 5.2 -5.5% increase why oh why whatever is happening do you have to moan about it. I got no increase this year just a lump sum one off non consolidated increase of £200 less tax. which equated to about £140. If I was going to get the highest increase in about 17 - 18 years I...

Actually I think you will find going back decades that crimes against the establishment are punished harsher than crimes against the person. I remember some horrendous sentencing in the eighties. People are not as important as the banking or finance world to the judiciary.

During the last rosy 10 years for the economy (and it has been) private industry gave reasonably high wage increases. Unfortunately public sector nad civil servants have had their increases tied to roughly 2.3% per annum. (Mine for instance has gone up 12.4% over the last 6 years). Now with...

I agree that subsidies should be cut to all farmers (does this mean I agree with Wynonie :eek:) (except in a very few cases such as rearing rare breeds and experimental farming e.g. re planting hedgerows etc.) However the unfortunate reality is that an awful lot of farmers will jack it in as...

From what i can gather JJB wouldn't make employer of the year. JJB Sports workers fight “first world sweatshop" | Workers' Liberty mind you if your staff aren't on your side how do you continue your success????
