Privatisation: People vs Politicians | We Own It



There's a big gap between politicians and the rest of us when it comes to privatisation and outsourcing. We've graded the political parties out of three on a range of popular policies that would give us a say over our public services - and shown how each party matches up to what the public wants.

Labour leadership candidate David Miliband has been posing as the champion of the Great British pub, saying he can save it by confronting large breweries over the beer tie. Under the beer tie, a landlord might pay £130-£140 for 88 pints of beer, while a freeholder might pay £60-£80. Cheap supermarket drinks have also been blamed for the recent spate of pub closures, as well as the recession of course.

However, figures from the British Beer and Pub Association (BBPA) suggest that these factors may be relatively unimportant. The smoking ban is probably the main reason for the recent decimation of pubs and may be primarily responsible for 3 in 4 closures.

Six myths about how the unions are ruining Britain - The People's Assembly Against Austerity

Six myths about how the unions are ruining Britain - The People's Assembly Against Austerity

The Daily Mail front page caught my eye yesterday: it announced that trade unions were now paying their members to go on strike. I confess to being almost impressed at that infernal organ's ability to alchemise scandals out of the prosaic, and it got me thinking about the other myths that are commonly peddled about trade unions. Let's have a look at six regulars, and give them a good old busting.

Give men and women the option to retire at 60 with a state pension | Campaigns by You

Make the optional retirement age 60 for men and women in the UK.  Many workers are not fit enough to continue beyond that age.

Why is this important?

People who reach age 60 and are unemployed have very little chance of finding employment.  Technology alone will account for too many redundancies.  Youth unemployment is at an all time high and in many cases earlier retirement will free up jobs for them.  Many of the younger generation need to be given a chance to work and raising the retirement age is only making things worse for them.
