No. That's why I never said they were.

 

Modern slavery is illegal and everyone who knows anything about the subject knows that giving migrant workers rights is key to fighting modern slavery and people trafficking. Leaving the EU takes rights away from migrant workers.  You have drawn your own conclusion from these facts, but it's anybody's guess how you got there.

You saw them poor fuckers bundled on that plane to Britain when we were rife with Covid, all legal so that's ok then.

 

You carry condoning this shit Angry. I'm out

As you know, I have never condoned any attacks on workers' rights.  Please stop lying about that: it makes you look like a cunt. 

On the other hand, you have consistently supported removing  (at least some) workers' rights since the first time you posted on this thread. I'll never condone that shit.

 

Now...

You said that UK Governments hide behind the EU when it comes to workers' rights - that they claim that they want to improve workers' rights, but the EU are stopping them. You even went as far as to claim that Margaret Thatcher said this.

I'll ask again; is there any chance that you, who are so fond of posting links, could post a link to back up that nonsense?

Britain would have been better served under a Labour Government and in the EU. 

Always.

But that wasnt the choice Angry was it? Come on now you know your history

 

 A labour government who promised to pull out of the eu in its first term or a Thatcher government who chose to stay in. That was the choice and until the Falklands we looked certain to be leaving.

 

Go on put me out of my misery which one was/is it?

So, you're happy to concede that, had you voted in 2016, you would have chosen the package of Brexit plus the Johnson/Gove/Rees-Mogg wing of the Tory Party?

No I wouldn't have.

 

You didnt answer my question. I will ask again.

 

So would you rather a Thatcher government in the eu or a socialist labour government led by Foot out of the eu? That was the choice that faced the country in 83/4. 

 

Which one angry?

 

It's not even a hard question and your fluffing it over a slag who threw millions on the dole and sold off Britains industries because of your pathetic love affair with the eu.

No I wouldn't have angry because its obviously not good for jobs, workers rights and the country in general. However I believe a withdrawal negotiated by Corbyn/Starmer could have been possible and kept our relationship with the eu cordial and workable.

1. It's a stupid question. 

2. Had I been a year older, I would have voted Labour.  Obviously. 

3. The straight choice in 2016 was between remaining in the EU or handing untrammelled power to the right wing of the Tory Party. 

4.  There's a long list of things I hate about Thatcher. The fact she was a woman isn't one of them. No need for the misogynistic language.

For "jobs, workers' rights and the country in general" Labour Govt in EU > Labour Govt out of EU >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tory Govt in EU>>>>>>>>>>> Tory Govt out of EU.

4. Thatcher was no lady. She deserves all the scorn that comes her way.  She was a cunting slag who's policies drove people to suicide and ruined the lives and aspirations of millions. Her shit stained legacy is unfortunately still felt today.

 

Your other points? Fair enough.

Again with the misogynistic language. 

 

She was an appalling human being in every way. She wasn't a "slag". Using language like that undermines your point as surely as if you'd used racist language to describe Robert Mugabe.

It’s counter productive to his cause, it’s grist to the mill for the narrative that the left are fuelled by hate, same with all the parties and “ding dong the witch is dead” it really doesn’t help.
