GUEST# as the politicians set the minimum wage they should then be paid it - see which way it moves then. Would mean massive unemployment of course but that is the trouble with those who want their cake and eat it.

Zero-Hours Contracts - this surprised me:
- Those on them represent only 2.3% of the UK workforce (Means that 97.7% of the UK workforce aren't on zero hour contracts)
- Voluntary Sector Organisations greatest user of zero hour contracts at 33%
- Public Sector comes second at 25%
- Private Sector comes third with 17%

So the evil bosses exploiting these poor unfortunates would appear to be "Charities" and the Government/Public Sector Employers, with the big bad capitalists in private industry coming a very poor third - WOW who wud a thunk that.

Fear not billybob - you've got a US Presidential Election to look forward to - that should start to ramp up in a couple of months time.
