It's empty bluster from politicians who've got themselves into a mess they can't get out of without admitting their errors. It's not like anyone would pay a blind bit of notice to a ban if they tried it. They can't arrest millions of people if those people decide they've had enough of how their employer (the Government) treats them and refuse to work. Nor can they can't sack them and replace them either because unlike the 70s/80s the employment market is as near to full employment as is technically possible so there's isn't a pool of labour available to replace those who get sacked, most of the jobs are highly skilled and can't be filled except by people with the same skill (which we already don't have enough of because of how the Government treat them) and the country would fall into chaos if they tried anyway. An economist described the Government's rhetoric today as "delusional". Edited December 7, 2022 by Funky_Gibbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogets Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Politics is a mess, Labour need a Jeremy corbin to be in charge or Labour and the Conservatives need a Conservative to be in charge of the Conservatives Instead we have leeders who are not one or the other So if you vote one out, the other carries on with what the other was implementing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The right to withdraw labour is a human right because a person who has no right to do so is a slave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to which law, please? This one for starters https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2015/30/contents/enacted Slavery, servitude and forced or compulsory labour (1)A person commits an offence if— (a)the person holds another person in slavery or servitude and the circumstances are such that the person knows or ought to know that the other person is held in slavery or servitude, or (b)the person requires another person to perform forced or compulsory labour and the circumstances are such that the person knows or ought to know that the other person is being required to perform forced or compulsory labour.

That does not cover 'withdrawal of labour' - if you withdraw your labour, you do not attend your place of work, therefore no-one can 'force you to work'.
