George Osborne Shares For Your Working Conditions
Apart from company owners and directors i cant see many people going for this
Why are they so hellbent on reducing workers basic rights
For me its clear to see that the Tories just represent the company owners and have little time for the workers on the shop floor
Whats the point in having shares in a company that does not even respect its workers basic rights
Hardly a vote winner Mr Osborne

Totally agree. They will never be for the working class and never will be. The sooner people realise it the better.
. I listened to that Boris Johnson speech as well. God knows what planet he is on. Good stand up comedian though.

I had quite a few shares in my previous employer's business. Not enough to make any difference to the company what I did with them but I had about about £10,000 worth. Huge global company. I wouldnt say that they motivated me in any way, workwise. They just sat their in the background to the point that I pretty much forgot about them on a day to day basis. I had full employee rights. Neither stopped them from laying me off after 30 years.

I think a lot of people did well out of having shares but overall they are the minority.

Short term gains years ago for people who bought into Thatchers share owning property owning democracy.
Your paying the price now though. Gas, Electricity, Water and all the other ones previously owned by the country now charging you way over the top to keep their new corporate share holders happy.

Tbh ... I know bugger all about dabbling in stocks & shares.
So long as my wife & I can live comfortably on my Work and State Pensions - and we do - then we're BOTH content.

They sold it to us as privatisation was the way forward
Thats why we are all paying through the nose for gas and electric these days
Water bills go up more than inflation (greedy private companies)
Private companies like Virgin buy a rail franchise and then put the fares up
Can the Tory lot still claim privatisation was such a great idea now
For the record i am no great Labour supporter either and they seem just a clueless
