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..

mate that is Sheere hite, i'm not sure they would be allowed to do that unless its in your contract. any changes Labour would make would take months anyway, though i suppose that little comfort... its not one of Mike Ashley companys is it?

I recall talking to a university scientist prior to the indyref in 2014, he said he'd vote No because if we (Scotland) left the UK he'd lose his job, fair enough, guess what happened 6 months after the indyref of 2014 ?

It really is a shite position to be in. There are clauses that allow for cancellation of contracts with 4 weeks notice depending on certain circumstances for both parties (them & me). The answer to your question yes his is one of the companies indeed.

Huge difference methinks... Politicians are seeking to run our country... Whilst we (forumers) are, as per ChrisD, seeking for a bit of fun... Whilst putting the world to rights...

Where does this all pan out with IR35?
My friend has/or the organisation is planning to use IR35 to make people leave their contracts.

Spent the majority of my teen years in a mining village right next to the pit, walked through the pickets every morning to get to school while the strike was on. Trained to hate Thatcher and everything Tory etc by family and friends.
But saying that, I'm not that closed minded and blinkered that I can't change my mind as I grow older and have different views now. So you could say I was brain washed into supporting Labour?

One of the great mysteries of this era of politics is how Tory policies from the 80's decimated industries and communities in the North and Midlands with no plans to reinvigorate them and then by some slight of hand have convinced them it's the EU's fault and if they vote Tory they'll sort it out.
They've never given a toss about those regions and never will.

You don't think that cheap steel imports, high manufacturing costs because of companies not modernising/automating/high wage costs and the falling use of coal etc. had anything to do with the fact that goods were cheaper (Often better) from overseas. these were long term trends (Germany had modern factories (built using post-war UK cash)). You might also know that the EU has strict rules about Governments subsidising corporations (unless you're France etc who ignore these things). There was more than a one Party governing the UK through these decades.

Other more progressive modern economies have managed to bridge these changes by investing in education, infrastructure etc. We have one of the greatest university and research systems in the world but the vast majority of their output ends up making overseas companies money because we don't have an industry to feed into. That's ok.for investment bankers, they just move their money around the world but it does nothing for poorer areas.
The Germans, French, Swedish, Japenese all have car industries. I worked in Pharma for many years, it's now decimated in the UK but not in other European countries.

I know you wont like this but you put all the blame on the horrible Torys but if its that simple why didnt Labour reverse the situation when in government. Maybe its not as simple as expecting the taxpayer to fix it.
 
Quick question.. We now have about 4000 posts on this thread and lots of grandstanding, mudslinging, fakenewsing, shouting at each other.

with less than 12 hours to go to polls, HAS ANYONE CHANGED THEIR MIND ON HOW THEY VOTE BASED ON THIS THIS THREAD..
