Mps should be put on zero hours contracts. They only get paid if they bother to turn up and vote in parliament
Diane Abbott would be f++ked then.....
8 years later, still such a good idea…seeing as half the high profile people in the tory party, especially since partygate as they know they’ll not be relected, have been busy money-making by jetting around the world to make speeches and be private advisors to big corporations rather than vote on anything.
Every time an MP is asked about zero hours contract they always resort to saying they work for students but do they not realise that employers out there don't offer them to students only, they are now seen as convenience to employ working people on a lower wage and to ask them not to come in when there is no work thus not adding to their pay check. In addition you can't buy a house on a zero hour's either. You see the problem here? All the young people out there who want to get on with their life can't buy a house or have a regular schedule with hours being changed while they work on a zero hour's and they wonder why there's a rise in mental health with young people....
last shift I had was last Tuesday and they just said all my shifts cancelled this week. Of course he couldn't live on zero hour contract cause not even a homeless man could.
Such bullshit, I'm a student and would hate to live off a zero hour contract, it wouldn't work.
What student would want that.. I'd have preferred a fixed contract myself.
Im a student on a zero hours contract. To be fair, it is very good for me and i am happy with the flexibility of it
@@muhafizpatel1503 You wouldn't prefer actual benefits and guaranteed hours?
@@kratos.8151 Also a student on a zero hour contract here. I'm not defending them at all, I'd rather they not exist. At the same time I recognise that the flexibility they give is good in that I can choose which shifts to do and cancel them if I'm busy or have a lecture. Do I think the country would be better off not having them and instead being issued contracts with the same flexibility and/or more benefits? Obviously.
Surely he only says he couldn't live on an EXCLUSIVE Zero hours contract? Not that he couldn't on a non-exclusive?
i think his answer was fair, he's right.
The answer he gave was fine, but zero hour contracts aren't limited to students.
What is wrong with PART TIME CONTRACTS? some if not all students must prefer to have a job where hours are regular and they know when they will be into work and when they will be finished....unless the employer makes the request for O/T...zero hours are a scurge on the UK and those who want to work hard to provide for their families .
watch him stumble so much over this question, he's buggered it well and truely now
B10Hazard Agreed and he also didn't have a "ball park" figure for the number of people who are currently resorting to using food banks, yet he tries to convince the electorate that he "cares". SMH.
It's the age-old problem of Politicians inflicting on the voters what they'd be horrified to have to actually live with themselves.
ezekielthemack foodbanks went from 44 to over 400 and the cunt thinks it is ok
Nothing wrong if you want flexibility, but for somebody who needs the money it’s not good
0 hours contracts are mostly a con to avoid paying employees insurance because they work under x hours a week.
What a load of bullshit. Its putting people in work that's not secure. It's also happening in the NHS. People working on the staff bank.
If you’re from the north stuck on a zero hours contract then jump on a train down south and sleep in a tent there’s PLENTY of money to be made doing basic warehouse work after the tent for 3 months you can buy a car to sleep in and carry on. Sounds awful but I’d rather that than be stuck in the north wasting your 20s and 30s hoping you’ll be called in to work.
he could not live on one but like us do it he need to have pay cut he has £4000.0000 in bank and can live on £142,500 but he get £142,500
The real point got lost because the question isn't being put in such a way that it gets to the heart of the matter, namely, quality of life not just life, anyone can 'live' on a Zero Hours Contract, so the answer to the question as it is, is yes he could 'live' on one but his living would be greatly diminished.
He would have to give up the life style he will be accustomed to on his guaranteed PM's salary and live on the basics, so the real question to him should have been could you maintain a DECENT and SECURE standard of living on a Zero Hours Contract?, answer, definately no he could not.
David Cameron made it even worse for himself by avoiding a question that he could have just said yes to without a problem Lol, the trouble with him, just like all the politicians is that they are afraid to just answer a question directly and straight because they assume it's a trap the interviewer is setting which it probably was the intention but the real trap whether intended or not wasn't in the way he thought, the real trap he fell into in my eyes was him being made to show what lengths he will go to in order to avoid answering a question when he BELIEVES the answer he gives won't make him look good, that's what really tells me how disingenuous he is.
+John Cashin cameron is a fucking GAMMON FACED FUCKRAG
Nope
+Écossais Français FUCKOFF CAMERON YOU gammon faced fuckrag
Completely irrelevant question!
Please please please for the sake of Great Britain, get rid of the Tories this election.
That is why we didn’t outlaw ‘zero hours contracts’
And no I couldn’t live on one and that is why we outlawed them.
