Out of context? She is literally comparing rail strikes to dinosaurs. She is clearly thick as shit.

Do you even know what a hashtag is?

**** me sideways It's a metaphor! She's not literally calling them dinosaurs. That twitter account is away with the fairies (and no, i dont mean that literally..)

There we are. The "get over it" message, despite the fact that young people are now worse off than their parents or grandparent. "Get over it" is also code for "I'm alright".

It only proves that the minimum wage was shit to begin with and has also brought people on minimum wage into paying income tax. What the government gives with one hand, it takes with another. (That's not a Tory dig as it applies to all governments)

It's also proved that the very lowest paid have had rises twice the rate of inflation, which is the opposite of what you said yesterday.

That's not the point people are making though. The major expense in anybody's life is shelter and that is rampantly out of control, it wasn't back then. It would make a huge difference to me if my rent was even a quarter cheaper, it won't ever happen because the government has to protect house prices like they are it's firstborn.

Surprised the Brexit guy talked a bit of sense. The Tory cabinet woman looked bewildered and totally out of her depth, a fitting advert for the Tory cabinet.

Why is the past relevant at all? Right now, is somebody able to live off minimum wage no matter where they live in the UK.

My guess is that a single male on minimum wage living in my area would be completely ****ed.

Is that good? Is it worth performing mental and statistical gymnastics every night on a Cardiff message board to stick up for that situation?

They all harp on about democracy but are shite scared to speak out or even say the truth or the clown will get rid of them in a heart beat
It's been refreshing to see Mick Lynch time after time call out and make whoever has been trust in front of him look complete and utter idiots whether it's the so called media elite Kay Burley, Piers Morgan etc or any of the Tory lap dogs who like said above all look bewildered and totally out of their depth.

Re: Mick Lynch RMT Gen Sec

Big deal. These pay rises are peanuts. That doesn’t make people on a minimum wage much better off at all. They remain on very basic wages and in many cases still reliant on food banks.
Would you be comfortably off working for £9:50 an hour? Do you think anyone can live comfortably off that? How can they afford a mortgage on these kind of figures?

Pearcey, you should know that once James Wales has spoken on a subject, that’s an end to a discussion because his opinions are actually facts - in his head anyway. He commanded me to start a thread on Wednesday

Wtf are you wittering on about? I meant that, when wages and cost of living is taken into account, mortgages etc, young people are worse off than their parents were at their age in comparable terms.

And you're more interested in trying to be right than the actual plight of people on low wages. Knob.
