But you choose to work on fixed term contracts.

True... If I'm going to get screwed over I might as well have the illusion of being in control.

No rights for paid leave
No paternity leave
Very little cover for sickness
Automatic termination of employment
No redress for unfair dismissal

Meh.. those have been my standard rights for the last 8/9 years.

Which is why all the rules on IR35 have been glossed over for the past 10 years.

I am seriously considering going back into employment next year, there is very little benefit from running your own small business anymore.

Okay....so are those considered rights, or privileges??
I mean, if you know that going in, I'm not really seeing that anyone has grounds for it to be redressed down the line...it'd be solely at the employer's discretion.

@D41

I wouldn't trouble yourself about it. It only concerns people who work for a living in the UK

Morrisons have renamed their brussels sprouts as Yorkshire sprouts.

Words fail me.

Just sent you the details for you to act on my behalf, Monty. Thank you so much

[Monty]

No no no, thank you SIR

[Monty]

I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how it's going to be better than before, especially now we've just given that cluster **** of a **** a mandate for no deal.

[Kwacky]

The latest from the Pro-Brexit supporters on twitter is that they all voted for sovereignty first and foremost.

[Cav]

Let's just say that the majority of the country are idiots REGARDLESS of any Brexit or General Election vote.

Never under estimate the stupidity of the general public

[Monty]

No, I don't think that's true Cav. There were many good reasons to vote for BREXIT, being an idiot wasn't mandatory. I'd just like to hear someone put one forward and explain to me in simple English how it's going to be better than before.

Personally I think on balance it's going to be worse for my kids over the next 20 years, but I'm open-minded.

I don't think you understand my point.

I'm saying that most of the British public are idiots. It has nothing to do with Brexit, the General Election or any other political nonsense

One of the fundamental problems with Democracy as a social control system.
Furthermore increased trends towards mutually adopted gullibility & banal likeability suggest it's not going to improve.?

I have to agree that there were (and are) many valid reasons for wanting out of EU membership.
However,,

,, Imho you are being overly optimistic when you suggest that "many" of the brexit vote was inspired by any of those "good reasons".

Frankly I'm more disgusted by the failure of the opposition parties failing in their duty to offer the public a decent option, preferring to sacrifice the country's (your children's) future for their own political vanity projects.
-More so than I am by the blinkered myopic cronyism of the amassed lemmings of the UK public vote.

[Monty]

LOL "vanity projects"
