Who inherited the steamiest economic pile: Maggie or Cameron?

Most bobs don't eat beef. ClientCo laid on a beef curry for Diwali.

That's why I suggested McDonalds. No beef in their burgers.

As Derek Scott, Tony Blair's adviser said, "Gordon Brown inherited the best economy of any Chancellor in living memory", and so he did. And they've squandered it. They have spent and spent and spent.

So Blair is responsible for lifting the UK economy to new heights, rather than setting it up for a fall?

I am not convinced the conservatives would have done much different.

Why?

They were thrown out because whilst they kept the gold in the vaults they couldn't keep other things in their pants. Economy wise it was the best we had ever seen, the Tories put in regulation and supported business, New Lie took it away and crushed business.

I favour polices which reward the Rich and Punish The Poor.

For those whinging about rate rises - be thankful you;re still in a job. - for now.

Back to Work with you ,whilst I award a hard earned inflation pay rise of 240 per cent.

Dont you just Love Capitalism ?

Are you getting a rate rise?

No, so why do Nixon Williams think now is a good time to increase their rates?

Time to shop around I think.

This is an example of price inflation and wage deflation. I suspect the empoyees at Nixon Williams are not seeing much of a wage increase if any.

When did they last? And the answer is probably "because they're a proper business". I bet most of our clients put their prices up in the last 12-18 months...

I bet they got a really good price from the local (non-Hindu) Indian restaurant for that curry

Yes Sir, lots of curry, plenty cheapness

Abolosh the minimum wage
Bring in more bobs but at 50p an hour
Take those on benefits and put them in work schemes in McDonalds so they can feed the bobs.
Big businesses get richer and can be taxed more.
Everyone a winner.

Sorted.

Vote MF for Prime Minister.

Increase the minimum wage requirement for imported workers and do not include expenses as part of their wage calculation. That should make locals more attractive to employers.

[Lockhouse]

Don't abolish the minimum wage because you get a race to the bottom, simply make it easier to hire and fire people.

Why? Has he got a gig working at home?

He'll be at home (well until its repossessed). The gig and working looks like it will be building and using long wooden implements for sitting on.
