Mps Working At Home

[maggiebee]

Please tell me this isn't true - have just read that MPs will receive an extra £10,000 for working at home. Apologies if this has been posted before but this is the first time I have read it. My question is why?

[ladybirder]

Facts won't change his opinion FF, DD, Naomi and Bobbi. Sigh.

I’d hate to be so ‘hate filled’ LB

Right To Buy seemed fair at the time, but the long term effect was to destroy the social housing stock, and contributed to the situation we have today where it is well nigh impossible for working class people to buy a home.
Added to that, renters are disadvantaged in the face of high rents, short term lets, and insecurity of tenure.
It all started with Thatcher.

[Atheist]

Hear, hear, Theland.

"Please tell me it isn't true"

Ok it isn't true

You are welcome :)

[lady-janine]

Disgusting. How can they justify that and still say it is not the right time to discuss wages received by nursing staff, etc.

[cassa333]

My OH is working from home at the moment. They can give him an extra £10k if they like. We won’t turn it down.

[lady-janine]

Yes Cassa but is he likely to get it?

[jno]

quite correct, Theland.

If anyone else had done it, it would have been called socialist - giving away other people's property.

//the situation we have today where it is well nigh impossible for working class people to buy a home. //

Rubbish Theland! There are thousands of houses going up all over the country (or at least there were until the virus put a stop to it), and they're all very quickly occupied so who's buying them if it isn't the 'working class'? It's not the non-working class that's for sure!

[naomi24]

JNO, Right to Buy was a Labour initiative and included in their manifesto long before the Conservatives implemented it. Had Labour not lost that particular election it would have been introduced sooner.

Bobi 15.18 "her parents owned a corner shop" I can just imagine it ,
"Open all Hours" and Maggie riding her her Bike making the deliveries
Singing "Rejoice Rejoice". LOL.

it was still a socialist policy and the Tories still introduced it. Trying to pin a policy on people who didn't introduce it rather than people who did is avoiding the issue. Some Tories agree with socialist policies when they profit from them, I've noticed.

[naomi24]

I didn’t see the Labour voters turning down the offer, jno, and neither did I see subsequent Labour governments reversing the initiative - and yet now, every time one of these discussions rears its head we have the lefties telling us how it was all maggie’s fault. Principle eh?

[fender62]

some poeple dont make that in a whole year...i know, should have got educated, or had a nod from a gaffer your in boy,

[ToraToraTora]

gulliver: "Let's tell the Truth , Thatcher hated the Working Class .and well you all know it. " - she was working class me old china, unlike Agent Cob, St Tony etc.

//and they're all very quickly occupied so who's buying them if it isn't the 'working class'? It's not the non-working class that's for sure!//

The true answer to that question is a completely different thread in it's own right. Bradford, Rochdale, Peterborough, Leicester.....sorry just musing.

Margaret Thatcher was a clever, working class, grammar school girl. The marxists fear those very types with good reason. They are clever enough to see through the left wing lie, educated to think and act in a way that does not rely on someone else making the effort for them, and industrious in their behaviour. The exact opposite of the requirement that the left wing needs to maintain their human zoo.

[Theland]

Mot everybody lives I'm a bubble.
Some live in the real world.
But dream on.
