UK austerity has inflicted 'great misery' on citizens, UN says

[Pickman's model]

actully I didn't, and if you care to look back over this thread you will clearly see that it was another poster who introduced this sub-topic

no, he didn't.

he mentioned 'thickies', and in response you brought up the issue of educational credentials. you introduced the question of qualifications, so what are yours?

 

[Friedrich986]

what are yours?

 

[Pickman's model]

what are yours?

oh no no no no

you're very happy to ask other people for theirs but very reluctant to share yours. if you put yours up i'd be happy to reciprocate. but not until then.

 

[Friedrich986]

you asked first, so the onus is on you

 

[Pickman's model]

you asked first, so the onus is on you

you'll find you asked first. you asked Duncan2 what his "educational credentials" were. so come on then, let's see yours. after that i will be glad to reciprocate.

 

[Friedrich986]

you'll have to show me where that post is exactly

 

[existentialist]

my qualifications aren't relevant to the debate

but what I would like to know is why so many of you 'pro-workers' rights people, actively encourage a race to the bottom

Yes, it's strange, when you look at what's there when they get there. People like you.

2nd Referendum - it has no purpose because it will solve nothing

 

[existentialist]

only asked Duncan because he brought up this rather desperate attempt at critique in the first place,

I have no interest, nor should anyone, on the vague qualifications of some random guys on the internet as it makes not a jot of difference to the debating points

You have debating points?

he does seem to be an arse

 

[Friedrich986]

haven't you guys read the 'Grapes of Wrath'?

 

[existentialist]

what are yours?

I think you've just been pwned. Playground gambits aren't going to get you very far now.

 

[Friedrich986]

so, have you read The Grapes of Wrath or not?

 

[killer b]

great content lads.

don't try to change the subject

 

[Friedrich986]

ok, point out the post in question then

 

[Pickman's model]

i have

how often do you need it linked to?

 

[Friedrich986]

the post it refers to is what is necessary here

the post it refers to is what is necessary here

you mean the one you say you don't want a cross thread thing on when it's a post on the thread you moan about the cross thread thing on?

 

[NoXion]

haven't you guys read the 'Grapes of Wrath'?

Clearly you have. Why not enlighten us?

Where's the fun in that?

he's asking for a friend

 

[NoXion]

Where's the fun in that?

There's plenty of fun in giving him the chance to bullshit (again) and be found out about it.

no bull, he just shits

 

[brogdale]

great content lads.

The degree to which this thread has reached a level of farce is oh such a shame! Have no doubt it will continue to disappoint; it was never very quality.

I have. What's your thoughts on it?

oversupply of workers = lower wages

 

[NoXion]

oversupply of workers = lower wages

What's that got to do with the Grapes of Wrath? Is there an actual point in mentioning the work, beyond a piss-poor attempt by yourself to sound cultured?

Also, I have to take issue with your entire framing of the discussion. There's no such thing as an oversupply of workers, rather instead what we have under this neoliberal phase of capitalism an undersupply of the means by which people can live a dignified life.
