I am a self-employed courier driver, working for a courier company.
My earnings have been frozen for four years, last October the company gave us a pay DROP of 10% With the crazy price of fuel and other costs how am I supposed to keep going? I don't smoke or drink, I drive a 1.4 Diesel car, but with a family of 6 need a people carrier, this being a W reg it gets the higher rate of Tax even though it can do 40+ MPG!!!
Labour once looked out for the poorer working class, sadly all they do now is pander to big corps and Europe!!!
If another job was there i'd take it but with the huge influx of foreigners plus huge house building schemes (Our Town in 10 years has jumped from around 7000 to 10000 and we will soon have another 500 homes and another 650 planned for the future) the few jobs that were here have all gone......
If I could afford to emigrate I would.
