And lets remember, not all of us are lucky enough to have a family who will help us out of sticky situations.

Back to modern day poverty...

People have got a short memory if they don't remember the brutal Ł12bn welfare cuts by a treasurer who's logic was, if the Tories make life for poor people insufferable, they will simply choose to be well-off.

Speaking of poverty...

British workers face “cut-rate, bottom-of-the-league protections” after Brexit, with more zero-hours contracts and fewer guarantees over holiday and equal pay, the TUC has warned, as it publishes a damning report highlighting the soaring number of insecure jobs in the UK.

The number of workers without guaranteed hours or basic employment rights has risen by more than 660,000 in the past five years, the study found.

Labour said an "explosion" of insecure jobs was likely unless fundamental workers’ rights were protected.

And the dire situation many employees now face is predicted to intensify once the Government drags the UK out of the EU.

the reality is those staff who are good at their jobs will always be of immense value to all emplyers and will always keep their jobs and always be in high demand, the market dictates this and also dictates they may leave to a better job unless they are treated well and rewarded in line with their value to the business

There isn't an inherent problem with 0 hours contracts. The problem arises where unscrupulous employers use them as a method of avoiding the added burden associated with offering full time employment. There are many job types where it is eminently suitable to offer 0 hour contracts, and its not beyond the wit of man to identify where a company is taking advantage. In those cases fine them, ban them or whatever rather than removing a perfectly legitimate type of employment.

you cant make a blanket law for every situation and every business, as every situation and every business is entirely different. as ive tried to point out
