Your forgetting that a lot of that went up significantly to this point

which is what you're conflating

I honestly think the numbers are being fudged.

Life expectancy and job security are both up

life expectancy is going down, job security is through the fucking floor compared to 50 years ago

You think job security was good in the 70s???

Staying in one job for life shouldn't be normal

it was better than now, wacka

why shouldn't it?

Dude... You mad :p

Because it's uncompetitive to have unfireable people

Its not like there are groups that would find those numbers useful propaganda.

who said unfireable?

the fact is people commonly had jobs for life, and now we have a gig economy

Which is good

Jobs should become more relaxed

if you're retarded maybe

I'd fire half the Civil Service out of spite.

Do it out of need tbh

you can't start a family or commit to buying a house in a gig economy

Its a cancerious tumor @Kunarian

without introducing a huge amount of doubt and fear

@Eccles Economy is changing, the future is now old man

of course it's changing

what do yout hink i've been describing?

70s unemployment rate was almost double figures

you say it's universally good, i'm saying it's not

It's was terrible socialist government

Why do you think it followed 20yrs of Tories :p

that's all very well, but the existance of one bad thing doesn't remove the existance of other bad things

They cut people power for weeks... No one had a job ... Everything was fckd

everything is still fckd

and it's getting more fckd

I love the Labtard tribalism against the Tories they are like Orkz from Warhammer.

fckdness probably hit it's low point in the early 2000s

it's been downhill all the way since

Hard disagree

can't see how

based on what metric?

I started a business in 2005 and ran it for 5yrs... Best times

not an argument
