No 10 planning to tear up restrictions on City bosses’ pay amid cost of living crisis
One key plank of the plan included “removing restrictions on director (and specifically NED [non-executive director]) remuneration as suggested by the London Stock Exchange Group to improve London’s attractiveness for listings”.
But with the cost of living crisis and a squeeze on earnings hitting millions of ordinary workers, the proposal may spark controversy.Outrage over banker’s pay
Bonuses in the financial and insurance sector grew by 27.9 per cent over the last year, while average wages in the same period grew by just 4.2 per cent. Some £6bn was paid out in City bonuses in March alone.

ParticipantWhile CEOs receive staggering pay and bonuses increases! All perfectly justified..
The Government attacks ordinary workers daring to seek a decent pay rise at all!! …in effect accusing them of causing inflation!
james19
ParticipantI posted this on RMT Twitter account page…and The Times*
When there was no such thing as inflation, at the turn of the 20th Century. Wages were a pittance, children, forced into indentures worked a 16 hour day, 6 day week. Sundays were for God. You preyed for a better life after death!
The Tories, its then predecessor, were not the Party of the workers!* A good response this being 1…
Well yes! People seem to forget this nugget of information because most people never pick up a history book!

ParticipantUpdate on my little spat….
I receive emails when I get replies…
I did a search, and found in 1996? (approx ) before Russia invaded. There was a Ukrainian demonstration, (the Crimea ?)in which police officers were injured!
I know you could report material promoting terrorism or extremism?
Since I reported this coward*, she has stopped posting after I reported her online to authorities and complained about her to the mods..
*Urging fellow workers to fight and die..
Iv seen 2 British men have been arrested by Russians..(both said to have Ukrainian partners* (*this unconfirmed officially to be the case?)
The irony is, I never actually bought the Socialist Worker. I bulked at the price and length of the articles in their magazine NS…
The rest is history-

ParticipantAnti Putin protests held in London, where 10s of thousands protested.
Read the headline…
Clearly Pitri Patel, wouldn’t be calling for these protesters to be arrested on the grounds of being noisy and an inconvenience to people! Police taking full force, acting to the letter the new laws..on protests…arresting people! BLM, Bristol and Clapham spring to mind
I quipped, with my online post that the demonstrators would cause inconvenience and would be very noisy..
only to be told too bad…
that I supported Putin in her next stupid post. Accused me of being a supporter of the SWP, their rag , which was 40 years out of date?
Then to be told I am an incel? When I replied that should she drop dead.Because of this clown, I will not give a damn about how many Ukrainians die….to be honest the more the merrier. I crushed a grape this morning.
She said Ukrainians were being displaced….
What about the 8 million Yemenis displaced… ?
If this idiot doesn’t get off her armchair and fight… she a hypocrite.
*10s of thousands? LOLOh yeah. Deport them if they try to come to the UK. NO to Ukrainian immigrants! Let them apply for citizenship in the first country they land in. Fuck off

ParticipantUkraines president Zelenskyy who came to power claiming to clean up corruption…has a billion in foreign accounts
Unbelievable if true
Original source The Times (someone posted it in a comments section, needless to say no actual evidence to backup this by the poster )so I did some searching and found this.The Rada spoke about a billion dollars in Zelensky’s foreign accounts

Since the pandemic started, the United States has prioritized funding for nuclear arms and the military over global vaccines.james19
ParticipantThanks for your links.
Found the story online from The Sunday Times.
Steve Black, a data scientist who co-wrote the study, said: “The situation is likely to be much worse than when we did our study and the mortality implications of that are going to be very, very bad. “I think 1,400 deaths a month, almost 6,000 between November and February, would be a conservative estimate. It could easily be much worse. I don’t think apocalyptic is an exaggeration to describe how bad the situation is.”

ParticipantThis beggars belief.
Former Cabinet minister Lord Pickles has apologised for getting the number of people who died in the Grenfell Tower fire wrong while giving evidence to the inquiry into the disaster.

Kiss it goodbye
This will hurt Putin’s thugs and cronies
BRITAIN humiliated one of Vladimir Putin’s closest allies yesterday as it slapped sanctions on the glamorous stepdaughter of Russia’s foreign minister Sergei Lavrov.
Polina Kovaleva, who bought a mortgage-free £4.4million home in central London* at 21, dazzled followers on social media with a ‘NON STOP HOLIDAY’** lifestyle. But in a move welcomed by anti-corruption campaigners, the 26-year-old had her bank accounts and assets frozen — along with another 64 of the president’s ‘oligarchs, businesses and hired thugs’.
*Kensington
** my emphasisWill workers see this and think she and other oligarchs are parasites? While we are facing the worst ‘squeeze’ on living standards for 50 years.

The only war is the class war.
Usually it’ll get the reply: there’s no such thing as the class war? Not people will fight and kill as in wars in Countries in conflict.
I quote US billionaire Warren Buffett; there’s a class warfare alright it’s our class that’s winning the class war. (A close proximity of what he said.As we argue it is the working class that makes up the armed forces. They would also be swayed by Socialist ideas.
We’ve seen something akin ….when the Navy were being called on by the Home secretary to turn back asylum seekers in the English Channel. How many people in the Navy… have family members fleeing war zones? Id like to think it was a little bit of socialist Consciousness? Priti Patel lost that one.james19

You asked why Ukrainian were welcome here and in neighbouring countries? On the SOYMB blog?
