  • Fair, didn’t really study the list in that much detail.

    With regards to work culture since Thatcher we’ve definitely been on a path that brings us closer to the US. Unions have become extremely weakened and it’s almost a dirty word. We keep voting for governments that want to curtail workers rights. The present government is an exception after almost a decade and a half, and it looks very much like it’ll be back to business and usual (probably with a jackboot on the accelerator) after the next GE.






  • Yeah, UK is pretty shit when you compare it to our European neighbours. Statutory sick pay is a joke too (like £90 a week) and maternity (90% of your pay for 6 weeks and drops right down to “187.18 or 90% of your average weekly earnings (whichever is lower) for the next 33 weeks” for only 33 weeks. It’s because we keep electing right wing parties. :(
