    Even if your education stopped at school level, you ought to be able to work out percentages and ratios.
    Which will tell you that zero hours contracts account for about 2.5% of the working population.
    But to answer your question, any work is better than none at all.
    And it won't just be them, it'll be people like you, scrabbling for contracts in a declining market, which will push down rates.

    Exactly. July's unprecedented declines in manufacturing, construction and services output will make the UK more competitive so ordinary people will be much better off.

    So that's fair.

    The reason I say this is it's the only way to bring reality to the fantasists/idiots/thickos/cretins who voted Leave and show them that in the modern world all economies are interconnected and that the British economy does not have strength in depth.
    So lets bring in it on, trade under WTO rules with no passporting rights for the city, watch the resulting exodus of multinationals and face reality.
    In 20 years we're going to rejoin anyway as the young generation has indicated. Better to face ground zero faster rather than death with a thousand cuts.
    But that's not the British way is it, what we'll have is a compromise fudge.

    What I can guarantee is that all of you (except those with global market skills) are going to get poorer, the thicker of you very poor indeed.

    I am happy for us to invoke Article 50 at a time that suits US best. Not too bothered when that is. That is the whole point of being in control of your own destiny.
    Although I can see why that notion is rather alien to a "follower" like you sas. Never mind, just keep tagging along behind and let the go-getters determine the future. You know it makes sense. You can keep OG company as he too is struggling. Like the "special" passengers at the back of the bus licking the windows.
