  • The short version is; These delivery companies created a modern slavery situation which simultaneously creates road safety and personnel safety issues. Simple solution, ban deliveroo, just eat and ubereats outright. Delivery drivers should be employees of takeway companies. Then minimum wages can be enforced and traceability and transparency for all rights and safeguards can be seen. Bonus is, you’re not going to get hit by an unlicensed e-moto in a city centre by some shattered forgotten body who may or may not be entitled to work.



  • This is irritating, not because disabled people don’t deserve fair chances, but because of the measure of the ‘pay-gap’. This is the same issue with ‘gender pay gap’. It does not mean that people are getting paid differently because of being disabled, or because of gender. It is a measure of how often people have the salary they have based on having jobs that get certain salaries. Again; if they did the same job, they get paid the same. But they do different jobs and therefore get paid differently. So the issue is, how to make more types of jobs available to disabled people, not how to pay them fairly, equal pay is already a legal right.
















  • All clothes cost money, and if you wear your street clothes to school they wear out quicker and get replaced more often. So the focus should be cost of uniform, not whether to uniform or not. Branded logo items are mentioned in the article, and this is the way to break school uniform suppliers’ monopoly and cost control. Uniform only needs to be guidelines and type of clothes. Only a tie needs to be a certain design to be that schools’ ID. And those you can hand down through generations.
