    Marek - an idiot.

    Richard - I am talking of getting rid of the minimum wage which is setting a pay norm in some industries holding pay down more than anything. yes drop the minimum wage and some will get a pay cut but many others will get a pay rise in a more competitive market. Just because you may be on a low pay at one point in your life it does not mean that you always will be.

    I found out about the effect the minimum wage has in another aspect last week. I was speaking to someone who runs a new recruitment agency in Canterbury. He has one contract to find over 20 new permanent jobs for a new business in Ashford and another 200 temps for it with future expansion throughout the country planned. He is saying that many British people look at a job and if they see it is for a minimum wage simply turn their noses up saying they wont work in a minimum wage job, whereas before the minimum wage and the stigma it provides, they would have taken the job and worked their way up gaining experience towards a better wage. By contrast foreigners just snap these jobs up.
