Will little ajw be tugging on his shoelaces following behind him?

KPMG have become champions for the living wage precisely because it improves productivity, retention and recruitment, and helps reduce sickness.

There is a short-sighted ethos out there of treating employees as a cost, to be cut as much as possible rather than seen as an investment, is actually conducive to better performance by a company. It's bølløcks, it's short-sighted and it damages the economy at the same time.

I wouldn't be surprised. Interesting how he's never returned to the Andrew Mitchell thread.

Much of this speech by Boris is obvious. 'There will always be inequality' - well you don't say. It's fact but it offends the core principles of socialism. Presumably why the left are so up in arms about it.

A really good analogy.

Similarly, one should only have opposed apartheid if a black South African.

As opposed to something that keeps billions in poverty? And I was using it as an example, so well done for that going woooooooooosh right over your head.



And you object to a fairer society why?

Instead of just coming out with your usual soundbites and then running away, try to answer the following:

• since there is evidence that the least fair societies in the developed world actually produce worse social outcomes (health, education, crime etc) for ALL in those societies than countries where inequality is not so extreme, where is your logical argument that increased fairness is a bad thing;

• how do you propose an economy that is hugely dependent on people spending operates when those people have less and less to spend in that economy'

• what is the moral and ethical argument for greed and for greater unfairness in society;

• if society becomes even unfairer, how will that be good for society as a whole;

• if society becomes even unfairer, how qwill society have to cope with greater poverty, homelessness, fewer jobs, more low-paid jobs etc?

See above: he's posting more nonsense.

Since Ajw72 is still browsing this forum, one assumes he's spending time to answer those actual questions.

There are 300,000 $billionaies in the world.

There are 3 billion people subsisting on less than $3 per day.

How, in any civilised society, is that even approaching fair?

Still no answers and he's still around?
