I thought the Employment Opportunities Bill 2008-09 had died a death when it’s second reading was withdrawn in May, sadly I’m mistaken as it’s due its second reading tomorrow – I don’t doubt it will fail, Private Members’ Bill rarely succeed, unless they’ve widespread support.

How Tories can call the opt of the minimum wage for employers “Employment Opportunities” is beyond me, but there you have it Tories are going to give us employment opportunities by making us work for as little as possible – if we let this lot in we’ll be in danger of being little more than serfs.

Just so you know the bill was ordered to be brought in by these odious Tory MP’s

Christopher Chope (Christchurch)
Peter Bone (Wellingborough, Northants)
Philip Davies (Shipley, West Yorkshire)
Nigel Evans (Ribble Valley, Wales)
Greg Knight (Yorkshire East)
Edward Leigh (Gainsborough, Lincolnshire)
Ian Liddell-Grainger (Bridgwater, Somerset)
Brian Binley (Northampton South, Northants)
William Cash (Stone, Staffs)
Robert Syms (Poole, Dorset)
David Wilshire (Spelthorne, Surrey)

Why we continually vote for bastards like these is beyond me, whatever Labours faults the Tories will be worse.
