gisabeer 409 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Ashleys reputation is damaged beyond repair. His credibility is nil. Hes now a toxic brand that you wouldnt touch with a sh*ty stick. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhunter 0 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Welcome to capitalism in the twenty first century. If we leave the EU stand by for more erosion of workers' rights, no EU working directive etc. A world ruled by Boris and Gove. Think before you vote to leave. Oh, and trade unions even more hamstrung than they are now. nah we're in the EU and scum like this already thrive 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexscottislegend 2,072 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 nah we're in the EU and scum like this already thrive And they thrive because many of those hypocritical MPs grilling him have already either voted for, or even drafted, anti-union laws which prevent workers from organising against the unacceptable faces of capitalism. Leaving the EU will simply give the green light to completely ban lawful worker organisation and protest. That's not to say the EU is perfect for workers - far from it. I just see staying as the lesser of two evils. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just see staying as the lesser of two evils. I agree. The EU is a capitalist club certainly but most of the right wing dick heads who are pushing for "Brexit" are doing so to get rid of costly legislation on workers rights and health and safety in industry. that's the "red tape" they're on about in Europe. If the British working class had the balls and the Trade Union organisation of their French counterparts, I'd be all for bailing out but unfortunately the tories and new labour have emasculated the TU movement so I'll stick with European protection thank you very much 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boabie 230 Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 what protection how did the EU protect British workers from the like of ashley? Health and Safety at Work for one. If he steps over the line he'll face a court. There are absolutely dozens of other pieces of legislation referring to workers rights which the EU implemented. That's from someone who has no interest in Brussels too. Unfortunately since the unions got emasculated and the labour party turned into the tory party there is nobody else looking after the workforce. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

boabie 230 Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Is there a follow up to this? MP's being what they are you can be certain they'll find something on Ashley to prosecute. It was reported on the news this morning that the tax man is going to fine him for some breach. Imo the important thing is nd becoming more toxic. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
