That's just spiteful and petty. </i><br />But are you surprised?<br /><br />I'm still seething from reading this report this morning:<br />http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-13809620<br /><br />We know some, maybe most, Tories hate the whole idea of the Minimum Wage, because we should all be grateful we've got any jobs at all (hell, we should be paying them for the privilege of selling their goods and cleaning their loos), and their fat-cat pals would make sooo much more profit if they could pay more of us the average rate in Delhi or Beijing instead of a whole £5.93 an hour! They are desperate to undermine it in any way they can. It's bad enough that they can pay teenagers less than anyone else. If you're doing the same job, you should be paid the same rate - thought that one eventually became established with the Equal Pay Act (I know that was aimed at sex discrimination, but the same principle applies). <br /><br />Sorry, I'd better stop ranting.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070070360087765540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6153845628469776909.post-70117669926749553472011-06-18T00:00:32.410+01:002011-06-18T00:00:32.410+01:00Lying Tory- a bit redundant don't you think?
