The new Tory Minister of cognitive dissonance perhaps? Make no mistake about what’s really going on.<\/p>\n
The Austerity agenda has never been about balancing the books. Much more about attempting to deliberately create a ready pool of cheap labour for the benefit primarily of the top 20%. Hence the proliferation of zero hours contracts.<\/p>\n
Guess what that’s not a contract it’s self-employment. There is nothing wrong with self-employment if it is actually by choice, but for many people it’s Hobsons choice.
\nAdd to this how difficult it is to get any sort of employment once past 50 let alone 60. There is no even playing field of opportunity. Many people are likely to find themselves having to register as unemployed with all that that entails. It is also the case that many people may not be able to work in the same way that they did when younger for all sorts of reasons.
\nHow did we get here? I am very clear as to how that’s happened….<\/p>\n
