Ready, steady, go.....race to the bottom 16:37 - Nov 19 with 8831 viewshampstead_blue

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-2019-50474345

Capped salaries of £350k.
That's just made hundreds of firms leave the UK,.

Will the last person left please turn out the lights......

Assumption is to make an ass out of you and me. Those who assume they know you, when they don't are just guessing. Those who assume and insist they know are daft and in denial. Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid. Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.

Totally irrelevant, Labour are as far from power as they ever have been, five more years of chaotic tories and universal credit pushing people in to desperate situations, yep JC supporters take a bow.

I really dont get ideas like that, surely they know foreign owned companies will leave quicker than if we had a hard brexit.

Plus I don't see how they can even enforce that on a foreign owned company like Nissan. So it would only be UK companies who would then lose loads of talent to foreign companies. But don't worry the wonderful unions will step in and lead those companies to the promised land.

Classic really JC telling business yesterday we're your friend today JM tells them we will destroy you. Once again the ' you make it we'll pinch it' rears its head.

Cannot believe anyone could vote for such an anti business party. Without businesses you have no NHS or public services.

Would the last working person in the country please turn the lights out.

It's like McDonald and Corbyn want to self-harm.

This range of policies will decimate industry.

Why will capping public sector executives' pay at £350k a year lead to loads of private companies leaving the UK?

It's a proposed cap for the public sector. Given your views on the public sector I'd have though you'd welcome less 'waste'..
For private firms it's proposing mandatory 'shop floor' representation on boards and at senior level. and an opportunity for those on the shop floor to hold shares.

Which is the model which John Lewis has employed successfully for years now.

I make him right. I doubt there's a single billionaire that has accumulated that wealth without some degree of exploitation. If you're able to extract that level of wealth out of a business you sure as hell aren't paying your workers well enough for doing the graft that is making you obscenely rich. How much is Bezos worth? Whilst Amazon employees earn minimum wage and live in tents and are supplemented by top up benefits paid for from public money? That's before getting into the tax avoidance. You're telling me he deserves it rather than he's a massive shyster who's gaming the system for his own gain? You come across as a total patsy for the lies that underpin laissez faire capitalism.

How is a cap on public sector salaries and, for the private sector, 'shop floor' representation and share holding at board level going to do that?
It's been a successful model for John Lewis for decades now.

It's public sector chief executives according to this.

I think, at this point, it's now just wilful ignorance and Stockholm syndrome. They're the politics equivalent who insist that last season was MUCH better for ITFC supporters than the preceding 5 because they've decided that Lambo/Boris is their man, no matter how bad a job he's making of it.

At this point the press don't even need to put a negative spin on Labour and a positive one on the Tories, it seems the OP and the first few respondents on this thread are so brainwashed now that they see what they want to see rather than what's actually being reported. It's embarrassing.

Dear old Hammers is demonstrating why a lot of people see the term 'military intelligence' as an oxymoron.

Going back to football, I almost hope that Boris wins because I fear for his mental health if he doesn't.
Although, any mental illness would probably be better managed by an NHs under a non-Tory administration..

As Herb said its public companies only.
Shareholders own companies not the guys who run it.
Its shareholders who would vote to move the company abroad not the board but why would they.
If I was a shareholder I would be made up to know that I only had to pay my top execs 350k rather than multi-million pound salaries and bonuses. The bosses could always leave and get another job at another company for the same 350k. Thats dumb. They could go abroad but the lack of multilingual skills of English people means that probably a non-starter too.
You didn't think that through did you.

Don't believe a word I say. I'm only kidding. Or am I?

It highlights something really quite troubling: people are so much more driven by their own biases than they are by the truth that the truth has lost all meaning. The OP has totally misunderstood the policy despite it being quite clearly articulated in the article he's linked and others of a similar political persuasion have not only failed to correct him but have piled on. I'm not sure how this thread got several posts in before I corrected such a clear and obvious misunderstanding by the OP. It can only be because the misrepresentation better fitted with what they feel to be right and so it didn't matter that it wasn't true.

If this is just for the public sector which we essentially pay for via taxes then its actually the first sensible proposal to come out of the Labour camp.

I presume this would catch Gary Lineker and all the fat salaries paid for at the BBC also?

Agree entirely. And the worse culprits are those who bang on about democracy, but they’re the ones actually killing democracy by willingly spreading falsehoods that dictate other people’s voting patterns. You can’t have a functioning democracy based on propaganda. The inevitable conclusion of Bannon/Trump style post-truth politics.

I’m surprised how quickly things have changed under Johnson, but I suppose I shouldn’t be. I was hoping people were less gullible, had some common sense and more of a critical eye. That’ll learn me!
