why would you wonder that silverfox?


if they have jobs and paid for themselves you will ask what they are protesting about

and if they don't have jobs you can dismiss them as feckless


why start another thread on what is essentially the same topic

Matching tents...

I guess they could all have free university education like the 70s if they reduced the number of students from the current 2,000,000 to the 1,000,000 there were in the 70s.


So which half of them are going to go home and get a job?

Just for perspective, I know of a global bank moving outside zone 1 in London


Roughly 80% of the workforce appear to view this as a reason to leave


Several people on 3 figure salaries expect someone else to pick up the extra tube costs or else they will leave for that reason alone


I know who I have more sympathy with

To be fair, if I was on a 3 figure salary, I think I'd struggle to pay for travel myself. Or rent, food, clothing...

In the City right now, it's getting dark and helicopters are drowning out the conversation in our office. They'll be getting cold and tired now so expect proceedings to kick off shortly.....whether its a few windows smashed or a full scale plastic bullet extravaganza remains to be seen.

Agreed. First year doesn't even count towards your degree a lot of the time, and it would mean a lot of people would drop out pretty quickly, which probably wouldn't new bad thing either.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
