who ever works on a friday afternoon anyway. walk about in the city and the bars are full from lunch time onwards. even if you just increased the day to 9 hours a day, a 4 day a week will not harm productivity.


NHS? Police?

in good time that will also be possible. it is a matter of training pibol to be efficient. back in the 80s i know exactly what our output was and i also know what our output is now. so as we have probaply improved our output by 10 times, who exactly has benefitted from the increased output. it is time the workers had what's long overdue.

You can’t see the contradiction then? From the people who promise to put 20,000 more police on the streets (£300 each, according to Abbott :lol: ) another commitment to reduce their working week by 20% with no loss of pay. You will need a lot more than 20000 just to fill the gap created. Never mind about any increase in policing. Similar with the NHS. These aren’t people hunched over PCs in offices.

As a true believer, you just keep spouting what comes out of Labour HQ. Best not look too close.

and yet the fact that tories have cut the policeforce down by 21000 in 10 years, you have no concerns over. can't a girl have a bad hair day, must you remind her about it all her life or is it because she is black.

not like the tories who doctored the clip to show starmer speechless and then claimed it was just editting.

first clear your own shit before you start shovelling others'

None of which addresses the obvious contradiction in Labour’s promises. Then again, perhaps they’ll turn out to be the same as their 2017 promise. To honour the referendum result. I’ll stick with Johnson’s policing plan thanks.

Abbott in charge of the police, intelligence services and immigration. I keep waiting for the punch line and everyone ROFLMAO. You should watch her interviews from 2017. Excruciating to the point of being hysterically funny. She clearly hadn’t got a clue about her own brief. In the end they pulled her and put out a story about her being ill, before she could do any more damage. I love her, almost as much as Jeremy. I couldn’t care less if she was turquoise but you would have to go some to beat Abbott on racism. Doesn’t work that way around though, does it? If she was white and spouting it she would have been selling the Big Issue years ago.

I read the news and posted the facts that prove your claims are wrong... :wink:

A smaller increase is not a cut. The clue is in the name. :lol:

In the same way, reducing tax rate is not the same as giving somebody money. It is just taking less of their money for the state.

Socialists seem to have problems with these things. I guess Bog Street Comprehensive failed you in Maths as well as spelling and grammar... :roll:

it is when you increase by less than 0.1 percent and you have inflation of over 4 percent.

not that you can understand such high finance, after all you only dream of being worth 3 million. it costs you that much these days to own a fakin house in london like.


So you've changed your tune a bit then? :lol: :lol: :lol:

<<<<<Chancellor George Osborne has unveiled the biggest UK spending cuts for decades, with welfare, councils and police budgets all hit.

The pension age will rise sooner than expected, some incapacity benefits will be time limited and other money clawed back through changes to tax credits and housing benefit.

A new bank levy will also be brought in - with full details due on Thursday.

Mr Osborne said the four year cuts were guided by fairness, reform and growth.

But shadow chancellor Alan Johnson, for Labour, called the review a "reckless gamble with people's livelihoods" which risked "stifling the fragile recovery" - a message echoed by the SNP, despite smaller than expected cuts in Scotland.

Mr Osborne ended his hour-long Commons statement by claiming the 19% average cuts to departmental budgets were less severe than expected. This is thanks to an extra £7bn in savings from the welfare budget and a £3.5bn increase in public sector employee pension contributions.>>>>>


so what about the pittance increases for a decade with inflation converting them to cuts. cut baby cut.

oh and here is some more cuts that never happened.

Government departments facing major cuts to their budgets include the
Home Office, on 6%, including a 20% cut in government funding for police over four years,

the Foreign Office, facing 24% cuts,
the Cabinet Office, which will see its budget slashed by 35%.

The justice department is facing cuts of 6%, with 3,000 fewer prison places over four years.
The chancellor's big surprise announcement is that the state pension age will rise for both men and women to 66

The science budget will be ringfenced and the increase for the NHS over the whole spending period has been confirmed as 0.4%, or 0.1% a year.
The schools budget will rise from £35bn to £39bn and, overall, the Department for Education will be required to find resource savings of just 1% a year.
The government will also deliver £6bn of Whitehall savings - double the £3bn promised earlier, said the chancellor.

He also confirmed that the budget for new social housing would be cut by 60%(ouch)over four years, and rents for new tenants would be brought closer to private sector rates, with the money raised to go towards building new affordable homes.
Campaign groups reacted angrily to the move, with the National Housing Federation calling it "a devastating blow to the millions of low income families currently stuck on housing waiting lists".
The MoD is facing cuts of 8% - less than most other departments but enough to mean 42,000 service personnel and civil servants will lose their jobs over the next five years and high-profile equipment such as Harrier jump jets, the Ark Royal aircraft carrier and Nimrod spy planes will be scrapped.

so really there were no cuts at all were there?
