Well they have now said they are going to look at changing them

What do you think about this, then?

Asked about his role in Britannia Unchained, a 2012 collection of essays by then Tory backbenchers calling for reduced worker protections, Kwarteng told the committee that was “a long time ago”.

That would have been a clever move, ‘Remain’ wasn’t an issue at the time.

 

Hey but there’s hope, Johnson is in charge, Brexit is ‘sort of done’, nothing stopping the Old Etonian getting rid of zero hour contracts.

 

 

Most of the people I know on Zero Hours contracts are foreign born.  And they would be horrified if Zero Hours contracts were axed.

They like the flexibility of returning to their home country for periods of time, knowing they can come back and pick up another job, quickly and easily.

And do these people claim tax and rent credits?i,m sure it is nice for them but this happy state of affairs is detrimental to the working conditions of the british workers,having said i don,t personally blame them for taking advantage of a loophole.

It's not sure that most of the zero hour contract workers, who are actually UK born, would share the same enthusiasm.

So zero our contract workers actually prefer to be told on a daily basis when they,ll be required and for how many hours?this of could of course  be more on the day i.e you could be told you,re working extra hours,so that makes things practically impossible to arrange childcare or have any vestige of a social life,and you think workers prefer to work under these conditions?

So you would have no objections to the tories dismantling workers' rights and protections if these laws had arisen from the EU, is that correct?

If you are looking for an argument via your hatred for authority, you have come to the wrong place.

 

The fact is, your lefty party may do the same thing in the future, in which case you would be very quiet here...

You seem to be looking for something that probably isn't there, scaremongering again....Chill out chap.  ????

Hatred of authority? I am not sure what gave you that idea.

 

I am simply curious as to why you were cheering on the suggestion that laws were being considered for being scrapped when you don't know what those laws are or how they may actually be protecting you or your fellow brits.

 

It seems a bit churlish, does it not, to simply erase all remnants of our EU past regardless of the benefits you might be currently gaining from it?

"Erase all remnants of our EU past", what on earth are you talking about, the thread is about the UK now using its own laws, that is one of the Brexit benefits, we are in control, but you want to be governed by others across the channel, follow laws that they thought up.  Hilarious.......????

 

Now if that is what you and your Scottish Nationals want, then good luck with that......

Will you sign up to converse in German too...?   ????

But you are cheering the possible scrapping of laws without even knowing what they are or how they are protecting you, simply because they originated from within the EU.

 

As I said, it seems churlish to welcome this move without even trying to understand how it will impact you or your countrymen.

You are very confused chap, I am cheering the FACT that the UK is now able to govern laws itself, you are insinuating the UK gov. are going to scrap every law passed whilst being in the EU, which is nonsense and not the case......
