Manual labour not only affects the body but also the mind. 12-hour nightshifts for example have a negative effect on mind and body. Sleep cycles, nerves, wear and tear on joints, years of constant stress, tiredness and deterioration. We should all retire before 60 and yes physical labour should be rewarded by earlier retirement. We work to live - living to work negates the simple joys of life.

NHS staff have the right to strikes as does any worker. With no right to strike workers have absolutely no control over their pathetic wages...

Should we stop banning things because people don't like them? People should be free to be themselves and have the choice to dress as they wish.

Another right-wing slogan from Labour - seriously I'm happy to get rid of the Tories but I'm not seeing much benefit from replacing them with Labour...

Wealthy chancellor forcing an ideological austerity on a whole country leading to many losses and misery: A step too far?

The breed's health concerns are important, but I'm Welsh and we have a Dragon on our flag as the national symbol so who am I to complain about the British bulldog... National symbol or not people are still breeding them and they are part of many families as pets. What are the options? stop breeding them until they go extinct?

@Anonymous-qw Yes and while that is an exception to the rule, the main thing is hard physical labour that should earn an earlier retirement. No doubt you have many of the fatigue and sleep issues, but add that to constant physical wear and tear and it becomes quite significant. To be honest without the constant need for replacing flawed goods (built in obscelescence) via coinsumerism we could all work less hours and retire earlier. Imagine having modular tech devices and tools so that upgrades would be easier, with the highest quality that last a lifetime. Quality clothes and food for all. With a focus on ecological impact and sustainability and having more time for personal growth rather than the pursuit of wealth.

@oufc90 I said "Has the right" governments enforcing slave labour via no-strike rules should be illegal.

@oufc90 We are signed up to the UN Convention on human rights as well as the ECHR despite Brexit, which grants the right to strike. Having the right and legally being allowed are different. I'd rather not argue semantics, you've made your point and I've made mine. If workers do not have the right to strike then it's slave labour.

@Fractalchemystical They are conflating the two, I am not as I'm simply responding to their question. I assume you're a Celt to speak of native British culture, if you're an Anglo-Saxon then you are not in a position to comment. From my point of view, immigrants are welcome under a system of controlled migration as that benefits Britain. Whether they are Anglo-Saxon, Lybian, Indian, Arabian or any other nationality/culture. British culture is Indian curries, Greek Kebabs, Mesopotamian numeracy, Roman inventions, Chinese Tea and many from other global influences. My point was simply that to discourage breeding means the Bulldog will become extinct.

@Anonymous-qw I didn't suggest all labourers do nightshifts. You should learn to read and stop being so pedantic. I'm not interested in petty disputes of semantics...

Boris Johnson is a perfect example of a privileged, private schooled, entitled elitist and therefore a very typical Tory MP...

@an-albumhole4400 We had less immigration under Labour and better processing meaning we weren't paying £3.7 billion for detention centres. The costs are all down to Tory incompetence and a lack of processing. PS Labour are as right-wing as the Tories these days, Brexit cost us 100x more than migrants. You need to stop listening to pub gossip and start reading stats, facts and proper analysis.

@wor53lg50 Most right-wing Tory party in generations, you're obviously politically illiterate...

@brotherlestat305 Inavasion? I'm a Celt a native Brit, let me guess you're an Anglo-Saxon invader??

@wor53lg50 You've had a right-wing government for 13 years, you haven't got a clue. We had less migrants and less people in detention under Labour. The majority of British people are decent, moralistic human beings, not far right idiots who can barely type a sentence, like you...
