Wage cuts for British workers deepest since records began


Britain's workers have suffered more financial pain since 2008 than in any five-year period of the modern age, according to research by a leading tax think tank that shows employees have sacrificed pay to keep their jobs.

Describing this downturn as the longest and deepest slump in a century, the Institute for Fiscal Studies says workers have suffered unprecedented pay cuts of 6% in real terms over the last five years.

Historically, real wages rise by about 2% a year. This suggests that people are more than 15% worse off than they would have been if the pre-crisis wage trends had continued. read more: The Guardian

Does anyone find it cruelly ironic that the Labour Party, the supposed champions of the British workers are the very people who created this situation where British workers are now at the mercy of their employers? 

Since Labour wilfully set about opening the immigration floodgates the labour market in this country has changed out of all recognition. Instead of employers having to pay a decent days pay for a decent days work, now they can hire and fire at will safe in the knowledge that thanks to the Labour policy  of open door immigration there is now a bottomless pool of cheap exploitable labour at their disposal.

Will the workers of this country ever wake up to what the Labour Party truly represents? Tameside Citizen

The battle is about to begin.
People will soon understand that struggle really is the father of all things. Hold on tight God's with the faithful.

The British working class have been done up like a kipper by New Labour. The money these immigrants can earn here will buy them houses back home in a few years. Brits have to spend 25 years or more paying off a mortgage in this country. It's not fair, it's not a level playing field, and the people that brought this in can afford to live anywhere in the world, while the rest of us just have to make do with the cesspit the UK is becoming.

The real reason why this has happened is because companies are going straight to low wage countries and recruiting, they are not advertising the jobs in the UK, they go straight to Poland, Bulgaria etc. So no wonder the British are not getting the jobs. Another reason is because these people are prepared to work for less, so wages are being reduced. We are going to be a Low Wage economy and will soon be a third workd country, if we are not already. It is such a shame that these so called politicians believe this to be right and where are the so called Unions fighting for the British Worker, very quiet, very very quiet.

I don't see how most of our woes cannot be solved by the careful implimentation of demographic expedients such as those designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov or the former factory workers of Sheffield.
We can gnash teeth over government policy, and electoral gains until the cows come home.
What will win our battle for survival is the same thing that wins all battles, carefully applied aggression and a will to kill the man who would see you killed.
That is the only thing that will see us survive, we have seen what our government would do to a white nation that fights for it's sovereign territory in the late 90s.
Train yourself and amass personal armour and supplies, if you can get yourself a ruddy big sword or better yet a rifle.

Stupidity is like ice cream, it comes in an endless amount of flavours, many of which you will never attempt to ingratiate yourself with.

The Romanians and Bulgarians are already flooding in and as many parts of these countries are extremely backward, Britain will be like a magnet. If they can rough it for a few months they'll then be entitled to everything going from the benefits system, free housing, schooling, access to the NHS etc etc. But hey, keep voting Labour, Conservative or LibDem because it's obvious from their past decisions in power they're going to do something about it isn't it.
