On the topic of political memoirs a publisher cynically explained how they work.

Said politician will have been involved in some controversies over the years assuming they were in government they have not told their version of events.

This is all the papers are interested in and will pay hundreds of thousands depending on the politician.

So the publisher sells the juicy extracts to the Daily Mail etc which is how they make their money. If anyone actually buys the book this is gravy for the publisher as they fully expect it to be in the bargain bucket fairly shortly.

So if no newspaper wants to buy the extracts then the publisher is not interested in publishing the book and I have heard of a number of politicians who this happened to.

I don't know if Bercow's serialised his book in one of the papers if he didn't I doubt he's made much money from it.

The Guardian have it.

His talk with a James O’Brien will be a winner.

So Priti Patel reckons we can sack off unskilled migrant workers and the great depth of talent sitting in English front rooms watching daytime TV and lounging in pubs will take up the slack?

This ought to be good.

 


Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

Actually yes. There are about 1mm people who are claiming which means they are fit and able to work they just don't have a job.

In some parts of the country this is understandable but even in London certain boroughs have a higher unemployment rate relative to the rest of the capital, why?

I can't find recent figures on Lewisham a borough 15 mins from Canary Wharf and 20 minutes from central London hopefully they are a lot better than 2011.

Employers will have to offer more training and better incentives if they want to fill vacancies I have no problem with that. As for the shirkers if there are plenty of vacancies then either they take one or sign off.

Now if after all that we still can't fill jobs in certain sectors they maybe we do need to relax the visa rules.

 


One more point

Haha, Stirley still banging on about the right and the left. Wont matter about right and left when the farming and manufacturing industries cannot get enough workers.

Patriotic? Hmmmm.

Idiotic more like - those who think the entire foreign unskilled labour force can be replaced by a bunch of work shy English scallywags mooching around Asda.

Once again you find yourself born in the wrong century old boy. If you had come along in the late 16th you would see nerry a foreigner on the mean streets of Wisbech, and wouldn't know a hijab from a haggis.

Sadly this is 2020, where unskilled migrant labour is what underpins the economies of America and England.

Have to applaud the sheer bravado and moronic stupidity of Patel and co with this pie in the sky idea that the slack can be taken up by local dropouts.

I wish you luck fellas.

Unskilled migrant labour? There must be something you can do.

Unskilled migrant Labour - something really worth defending. Let's bring people with no skills over, pay them in cash and let them live 10 to a room. Something we can all be proud of.

Would you rather do that or watch your economy tank?

Good call. I got away with it for forty years and still have no idea what I was supposed to be doing. Oh, well, it must have actually mattered even less than I thought it did.

Patel is a bit of a moron. Woefully underqualified to be home sec but as a former Weber Shandwick PR fluffer perfectly overqualified to be a politician.

This piece from John Grace is especially acerbic, even for the guardian. Made me chuckle quite a few times - some absolute zingers in there.

I had forgotten about the counter terrorism faux pas - like something out of the thick of it.

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

That piece is a very good read. We all need to laugh at the current fiasco or we would have to cry. British black humour at it's best.
