What a disgrace that the government is talking about delaying the extension of the right to work flexibly.
This must be a new entry for the ongoing competition for the most blatant example of the government bailing out the rich while piling the costs on the most vulnerable. Previous "top of the pops" had to be the news of the massive rise in house repossessions by the government (aka Northern Rock), which is repossessing far more homes than most lenders.
What the latest announcement means is a signal to businesses that when times are hard, they should ditch those with caring responsibilities first.
I fear that over the coming months there may be many occasions to use this excellent cartoon about the race to the bottom.
How about putting people before profit for a change? It's not as if the doctrine of "competitiveness at any price" has worked, is it.
