12 bore?

The other day I thought about not having cool zombie movies made in this country (Shaun of the dead excluded) - that's because there are no firearms in this country, so zombies would just eat up everyone

I'll be alright, I've got plenty of vinyl in the loft.

So it's tinned food, bottled water and a 12 bore.

There will be nowhere better to go. Well, none that will let anyone in.

Then the war will begin, benefits are the price we pay for keeping the sink estate residents from tearing the country apart. You think the UK is a nasty place now?...

Last one out, turn off the light.

There wont be any benefits.

The long-term prospects are for Europe and the US living standards for the proletariat to fall to just above where the third world is now, they move up a smidgen. Everyone is equal then; lovely.

Seeing as just about everyone on NMW will also be getting some sort of benefit to top it up wouldn't the government do well to increase NMW and put more of the burden on business rather than the tax payer?

Glad to see you haven't turned into a capitalist oligarch robber baron yet with your new found wealth looming Alexi. Let's see if it lasts

That's what I keep saying. We in effect subsidise the bosses of payers of NMW.

People who get paid less than minimum wage are likely to be paying highest ratio of their income as tax even if they don't get hit with income tax...

They won't be paying a lot of tax then

Yes.

[HairyArsedBloke]

As in, some people will be paid less than a minimum that can be existed on? I can't see that happening without heads rolling and pikes being dusted off.

Yes.
