    Brian - there is a difference between flexible hours and flexible working, they are most certainly not the same thing. Zero hour contracts have only boomed because of the need and demand for flexible working and in response to the more inflexible aspects of our labour laws.

    Most of those extra rules, to be fair, are imposed by the EU but then we are only affected to this degree because the last government foolishly signed up to the EU 'social contract'.

    Be grateful - thanks to our greater flexibility we have suffered far less unemployment than Keith hoped for in the recession but, as always, it could be better and to get rid of a means to protect jobs, zero hours, will not help anyone get work or the economy grow - the opposite in fact.
