£7.50 is a lot more than the folks from Latvia, Poland and other places
can earn. This is the problem, their sheer weight of numbers means
that employers and parastitic agencies can operate the sort of
'flexible' employment that employers could only dream about 20 years
ago. And they are happy to live 12 to a house to save money.


Meanwhile down in Mythyr Tydfil there is an army of unemployed
folk who have spent a whole generation on the dole, or more
likely 'disability' benefits and they cannot even be arsed to
get the bus or train down to Cardiff where there is plenty of work.
They don't even have to learn another language on the job either.


Are you implying that the minimum wage has to be increased by a large
amount to coax all those Mythyr Tydfil folks back to work? And change it
to a guaranteed minimum per week or month?


nope

we just have to pay then less dole money
