Unfortunately from what I can tell, that tends to just leave one at the mercy of other factors - often nature, which can often be brutal in a way humans can only look at with envy.

More than 40% of adults in England have gained weight during the pandemic, a survey suggests, with the average gain being half a stone (just over 3kg). Anyone else find it odd that they haven't mentioned the other 60%? Did they stay the same? Lose weight? Obviously can't speak for the 60%, but since I was furloughed for months my eating habits got better as I learned to cook different things.

Mickyblueeyes Posted 29 July 2021 Share Posted 29 July 2021 Emanuel Macron Emanuel Macron taking legal action against a billboard depicting him as Hitler. Ridiculously poor judgement from him to do that. He seems to let his ego dictate his actions. I don’t see this going too well in France. Disgraceful from him as leader.

Hopefully enough to get wages back on the rise, and employers unable to continue treating workers like cvnts. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58014256 Actually includes some figures today. 14% for ALL jobs under £25k. Temporary perhaps, but incredible nonetheless. James Reed, chairman of Reed, one of the UK's biggest recruitment sites, told Radio 4's PM programme that pay for jobs in hospitality and catering had gone up 18% on the jobs advertised on their sites, and 14% for all jobs paying £25,000 or less. No wonder people have suggested that in a post-Brexit, post-Covid world, worker power is back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably a lot of Eastern European workers have gone back to e Europe during the pandemic. the question here is whether they will be allowed back in - did they do their brexit paperwork whilst they lived here ? If the majority did then I expect things will gradually return back to where they were over time as many of these people will come back to work here. The point about brexit is that those who were here before and qualify to come back are the pool of ‘cheap Labour’. New ones can’t come in to work here…..so over time, I guess as these people grow older, there will be a dearth of younger ones and wages will indeed be inflated as a result.

Pretty much why I said temporary perhaps, no one really knows how many will return and I only have 1 anecdotal person to go on. We had a Polish miller who left at the start of the pandemic and he's returning in august hopefully. Guess it will come down to just how far the government will go to help support the big wigs at the top to secure cheap labour. At a minimum though, it should give the people at the top a new appreciation for how vulnerable their profits are if they continue to base their businesses around imported labour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
