Yes, because we have loads of 18 yr old CEOs who get parachuted in from school. 
 

There’s no doubt that some people get a leg up to start with, but to suggest that CEOs aren’t better qualified to run a company than the tea boy is mental. 

 

Except I didn't actually say any of that, not sure where you got that from.

 

You were comparing professional athletes to businesses people and I said football was a pure meritocracy where you're judged completely on ability, where in most other fields you're not.

 

Sallah plays ahead of Origi because he's better, you can't blag it and there's no hiding place. 

 

Or are you saying the conditions have never existed in a company where someone's superior isn't shit, or at least shitter than the person below.

 

Are generals of armies the best soldiers, are chief constanbles the best coppers, or do they have the ability to ride some rapids that aren't about pure talent in the field. 

 

You can't do this in football, soft power, social intelligence, luck, opportunism and connections matters not a jot, if you're a better player you're at a better club and get better money. This is how the neoliberal types would have you believe the rest of the world works when it clearly doesn't, lest Brois Johnson, the guy you say you think is shit, would never have picked up a pen at a newspaper, and wouldn't be the leader of anything, let alone a country.

Not much of a surprise to see people presenting evidence that the existing levels of inequality are making the impact of the pandemic much worse and that the Tory response to the pandemic will make inequality much worse. 

 

 

 

 

 

Two wrongs now make a right with you angry?

And? The eu vote was over two years ago but it unfortunately dosnt stop you wittering on about it. Austerity has been launched on the people of Europe for a decade. Have a more recent story,

Although the second one is 8 years old.

From private sector CEO pay to historic Eurozone macro-economic policy in one tottering, fumbling step in the wrong direction.

Well dont be a hypocrite. Nothing to say again on the eu policy of austerity yet flags up British austerity.

Not everything is about the EU.  The UK economy has always been directed by UK politicians, elected by UK voters.

 

To pin the blame on the EU is to let the UK neoliberals off the hook.

 

And drop all this "your beloved EU" bullshit.  It makes you look stupid.

Name one occasion when the UK Government wanted to splash the cash to alleviate poverty and inequality, but were prevented by the EU.  Just one.

 

I'll wait.

You're like a starry eyed lovelorn teenager angry.  Even when presented with damming evidence you refuse to see the wrong though the right.

Stop being a nobhead and answer the question.  What the fuck does a strike at Centrica have to do with the EU?

Just look at AoTs response.  We’ll be waiting a long time.

Ha ha I could bore you to death with the reasons for this. But not once will the EU feature. Unless the engineers are being trafficked into the U.K.

I didnt say they did. I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy of deriding a government that embarks on austerity whilst giving a free pass to an organisation that had promoted it for a decade

If CEO's performance was that easily measured as those of football players, there would definitely be much more meritocracy. But if you mike the picture just  a little wider, when you look at managers, you already have much less meritocracy and objectivity in judging who is deserving of what.

You championed your own selfish ends when you did and I bet youve still got freinds/associates there. Anyway that's beside the point, we are where we are, so predictable.

So there wasn’t a point? You just googled it. Ok.

What "free pass"?

 

I posted a link about inequality on the Inequality thread.  The link happened to be about a non-EU country, run by a gang of EU- hating neoliberal fundamentalists.  You decided to start banging on about the EU, like Buzz Aldrin trying to shoehorn the moon into every conversation.
