    There is absolutely no need for Trades Unions in this day and age.

    Disagree. My missus had to bring her union in when her company were brought out by a Thai consortium and the practices of senior management included threats of fighting and throwing of furniture. In a customer facing business.

    The HR dept were only there to serve as eyes and ears to the guys back home.

    Not in the world of the Daily Mail, maybe, but large numbers of low-paid workers struggling in sweatshop conditions could better themselves by getting organised.

    I think "exploitation" by wicked bosses now only exists in the mind's of Len McClusky and the Morning Star.

    Incidentally - isn't it about time the Morning Star was banned - yesterday its front page headline welcomed the "liberation" of Aleppo.

    Amazon, Sports Direct as JD Sports have all been exposed recently as paying below minimum wage when you take in to account the mandatory security checks. They are generally a horrible place to work where you are threatened with the sack if you can't keep up with unobtainable targets (amazon) or dare to sit down (jd sports)


    One thing I have learnt is that your staff will always perform better if they are happy and you treat them like human beings. It's also nice to know your staff don't dread coming in to work and don't have to choose between eating or being warm etc.

    It is sound market economics to keep a few bad employers likes Sports Direct. It acts as an incentive to the idle and discursive at school - work hard, or end up getting your nuts squeezed by Mike Ashley. I genuinely have no problem with someone being paid £3 an hour for cleaning toilets, the market is always the best judge of setting pay rates.

    If people are thick or mess about at school, that is their problem. The Govt should not intervene to make employers pay a wage that the job is not worth. Anyone can run a brush around a toilet. It is about making folk take individual responsibility for themselves. The problem with Socialism is that is makes the classic and completely false case that "all people are equal". They are not. The runts of the litter should not be kept afloat by the rest of us.

    I hope he is fishing, but Daily Mail readers do genuinely see the world this way.

    How would the Tories survive without disadvantaged young boys to molest?

    Just clicked on the Not606 League One Homepage by mistake, and noticed the following stats for our page:

    Assuming that this is the 99,828th message, we're only 172 messages away from 100,000! With Millwall this week I reckon we'll break that before Christmas.

    Mods - Is there anyway of knowing who posts it afterwards?

    I'll be sure to keep a close eye on it.

    What's the prize then?
