Aha! Thanks for pointing that out. This is what happens when I try to do maths. I stand corrected. Anyway, let us not argue at cross purposes. I also think Labour have done a terrible job running the country, although I’ve only been on site, so to speak, for four years of it. But I don’t think low wages are a good example of their shit governance, considering that British wages are amongst the highest in the world.

you have only deducted 1x£70.00 for food.
It should be 4x£70.00 and also roughly £60.00 each in tax and national insurance.
this was based on a genuine couples income-
i.e mine and my partners, that was before i found myself unemployed due to neocon new labour’s
fantastic running of our country.

Hmm.

£6.50 x 2 x 40 = £520/wk.

£520 x 52 = £27040/yr

£27040 / 12 = £2253.33pcm

£2253.33 – 400 – 140 – 120 – 40 – 24 – 15 – 70 – 40 – 15 – 60 = £1329.33pcm after bills and expenses.

Divide that by four, and you find that what they actually have per week is £332.33. Not including whatever they pay in tax, of course. And, naturally, that assumes your fictional married couple both work. Now – where is your figure of £50 coming from?

mmm,its usually people on good wages who say that wages are too high.lets try it this way.A married couple on low wages,lets say for arguements sake £6.50 per hour.they are home owners living in a two up two down terraced house up north, worth £60,000 when they bought it.They have a mortgage of £400 per month.
their council tax is £140 per month
gas bill £120 per month.
electric of £40 per month
water £24 per month
tv licence£15 per month
food£70 per week
car insurance £40 per month
£15per month for car tax
£60 per month for petrol
Thats roughly £1150 pounds to pay out.Not including clothing or luxuries such as mobile phones,sky tv,internet,pubs,smoking.
that leaves them £50 per week each out of wages,
for pastimes luxuries and clothing.
As you can see wages are not way too high in this country.

(1) When a government says it’s ‘creating jobs,’ the claim is almost always a lie.

(2) Foreign nationals from the EU cannot be denied jobs in this country; foreign nationals from outside of the EU add, generally speaking, to the overall productivity of Britain.

(3) British wages should be lower than they are, at least in many industries; high labour costs are one of the reasons Britain is less economically competitive than it could be.

If the fat useless lying one eyed jock had told the truth in the first place,his rambling unawnser’s
may carry more weight.Labours biggest lie.
3 million new jobs created in the economy.What they forgot to say,is 2.2 million of those jobs went to foreign nationals.All in the attempt of keeping british wages down.Brown and his Labour cohorts
should be shot for treason. DIE YOU BASTARDS>

If it is, we’re still screwed; Europeans do that better, too.

Is ‘going on strike’ a skill?
