Title: Boris Johnson compares his £67,000 cabinet post to a zero-hours contract
Post by: Pete on May 12, 2015, 09:00:10 PM

Zero-hours contracts are perceived by economists as a symptom of a broken system that prioritizes profit over the welfare of workers. Johnson’s remark has attracted widespread criticism online, with social media users denouncing his joke as inappropriate.

What a prat - and even bigger prats are those that vote for him.

Whilst zero contract hours may suit some who don't need the security of regular pay it is certainly not good for a person who needs the income guaranteed for paying bills etc.
B.J. is a prat, we all know that and his remarks show how little he understands the reality of this for many!!
