No people with common sense who realise that if the 16 year old school leaver washing glasses in a bar is paid 'minimum' £ 10 per hour £ 400/week.
Then your basic grade teacher and nurse will demand £ 600/800 per week and these jobs are funded by ????
The guy running the bar and in charge of the 16 year old will want 600/800 per week so your pint of beer will cost you £ 7/8.
So only tax increases for the wealthy.....
Jeremy needs to get some posters printed and stick them on a bus with these genius ideas.
Funny, in 1989 as student I started doing bar work. £4 an hour was the going rate. A couple of inflation calculators suggest that that converts to between £9.79 and £10 now. Why was it affordable then and not now?
