My problem is that it will be effectively an overnight situation for my family. At the moment im in a fortunate position that i provide my services through contract to 3 large leisure chains, 2 of those chains have already advised me that if Labour are in No10 by Friday morning they will issue 4 weeks notice of termination of contracts.

What do they hope to achieve apart from influencing your personal vote?

I am gonna suggest no they wouldn't... One thing I learnt from my working days is that business likes to have a little stamp of its feet making all kinds of threats to workforce/politicians... Then, come the cold light of day, realises there's still a profit to be had...

Im hoping your right and that's how it will pan out. Fortunately i've been going through process of changing careers last few months and all being well if it works out then if this situation comes to pass, I'll be on my way to a better future regardless.

I've asked that very question myself, but one of the companies in question is a well known magnate who likes to strip assets so it could well be in their case its an easy excuse for an out.

I know which way my vote goes regardless and its not red or blue

Its not compulsary for people to like anything, if they did a poll on how many Labour supporters had negative views of Christianity it would probably be higher. Its only a problem if people discriminate or react in hateful or illegal ways.

Really - you seriously think that that is a valid comparison...?

I think you'll find that Christians aren't too bothered about what others think of them (I get fed up with misunderstandings - but that's not the same thing), and it is unlikely that there are many - if any - out there who think so negatively of Christianity that they would go around attacking Christians for their beliefs...

And actually I think the poll paints a pretty poor picture of Tory voters...but you seem to think it's OK.

I’d be in a worrying position as well if he got in and got his way with defence.
Probably be in some uncertainty if Scotland got independence. though I wish they’d get it And bog off.

Project Fear Mk3? That Remain supporters and businesses have said almost exactly the same sort thing about what could happen if we leave the EU...but have been dismissed as not being Nostradamus. What a hellish hole has been dug by the Tories and that we all find ourselves in.

Well - I'm sure many up there quite fancy that idea - and also quite fancy extracting a Kings Ransom from the Westminster government as the price of temporarily hosting Trident whilst a new base is found and constructed. Unless they are stuck with the Yank's boats - in which case what's the point of having our own...

I hope that in your case like mine then it pains out favourably for you and your family.

Its to easy for people to jump on band wagons telling us its project fear but they aren't the ones in these situations.

I absolutely depsise that pathetic saying in all its guises.. Such a cop out for people that can't put together a proper conversation about something.

But tell that to my wife and kids that have that potentially hanging over their heads 2 weeks before Christmas.

Well indeed it is - absolutely pathetic, but that is what Remain supporters have been subjected to for more than three years - and most likely why the likes of Bridgen, Fysh and Francois are nowhere to be seen.

BTW - my comment wasn't actually directed at your situation in a personal capacity - and I do hope that the fearmongering of the suppliers is just that and no more.

you've gone back and edited your entire post from my previous reply you posted that, which now makes my reply look more out of context in the thread.. But is infact a direct quote of what you initially posted that contextually looked liked a dig..

Now you've gone onto justify it along with your complete rewrite of your initial post now makes it look like you agree with me.. Sometimes SILH you don't help yourself ?

For the record i never wanted leave either and cant stand the fear mongering we were accused of about that either.
 
Gove on Johnson's 'reporter's phone in pocket' moment...

"My understanding is that the Prime Minister did look at the picture, he was clearly concerned about what he saw, he dispatched the Health Secretary, my friend Matt Hancock, to Leeds in order to see what happened. A single moment of absent-mindedness after he'd looked at the picture"

That's not how the world outside of Gove and CCHQ saw it...but then Gove does live in a parallel universe where there are alternative facts.

Haven't rewritten it - just tweaked it immediately as I hadn't finished it.

[EDIT] I did not mean any dig at you personally. I detest Project Fear

why would they sack you just because labour got into power?

unless you are really Dom Cummings of course?

As ive stated several times before in this thread because of rises in costs labour would cause them elsewhere, removal of my contracted services saves them money.

They wouldn't be sacking me they'd be stream lining the services they outsource and under a labour manifesto they will need to remove some costs, i would not be the only contractual service provider they remove. Difference is though the others are financially stable enough to not worry about that change..
 
Wolf said:
Then why post it... All you've done is make it look out of context.

Might i suggest next time you post actually finish it properly instead of posting only part which in this case has made things look silly.

Imagine the uproar if Boris had done something like that!

I've never fully understood why the main Westminster parties are desperate for Scotland to remain part of the UK, it's fair enough if those who live in Scotland wish to via a indyref as before but what's the big deal for them in Westminster, it's not like the main politcal parties have huge numbers of MPs

Yes I do!
You are exaggerating what I said, where did I say anything about "they would go around attacking Christians" The article is about people having negative views and I believe (whether you like it or not) many people have negative views of Christians just like many people have negative views of muslims. You may not like it but that doesnt mean its not a reality.
