  1. Sadly we have entered an age of doublethink bullshit, and their name reflects that.

  2. There's something of the night about Mogg. Noshfartarsehole.

  3.  @Jack-fs2im . Davis. Boris. Raab. Fox. Farage. Are any of them actually serving us? Or is it just themselves?

  4. ​ @Jack-fs2im . The problem is that I find the ERG clowns utterly untrustworthy. Mogg and co despise working people, you only have to read the stuff they say about us. So no thanks. They'd turn us all into serfs if they have their way.

  5.  @Jack-fs2im . Did you know that zero hours contracts are not allowed in the majority of EU countries. We are an exception of course. The enemies of the working man aren't in Brussels, they're closer to home. What exactly do you think Mogg would do to employment rights if he had the chance? Seriously.

  6.  @Jack-fs2im . Workers only got strong through unionisation Jack. And hard employers have a cheaper strategy to raising pay. They just sack everyone and bring in workers from elsewhere. You don't need immigrants to do this, you just need desperate people. Companies in the US are quite good at doing this. So don't try to BS me. I am a union man and I know how these things work.

  7.  @Jack-fs2im . And you just contradicted yourself. "We are heading for a 7 day week." with "What will happen when robots and artificial intelligence starts driving the buses,trains,taxis" etc. You can't have it both ways. Either we'll be working more or not at all. Which is it?

  8.  @Jack-fs2im . You're twisting the argument to fit your own view. Strikes have historically been broken by management simply bringing in other workers. Not from abroad but just elsewhere in the country. (Miners strike Grunwick etc) I'm sorry, but expecting pay to rise simply as a consequence of market forces is just naïve.

  9.  @Jack-fs2im . I was born in London. Went to basic schools and started work at 16. I'm working class. Automation will inevitably take jobs away from us though. Unfortunately there is no avoiding this. The clear consequence though is that capitalism will no longer works as an economic model. We'll need a new "ism"
