Whilst I personally would not use the term minimum wage monkeys I do agree totally with your analysis of the effect of the Minimum Wage and working tax credits. Together, the combined effect is to provide employers with a very low maximum wage cop-out that does the average worker no favours at all

It is barmy to have employers legally paying appallingly low wages and a benefits system that too many people then have to rely on.

Pay everyone a decent wage and bin the tax credits.

Our Genuine MG Rover coil packs and a set of our own leads would have been less than Euro by a good margin - £61.75 with 5% member discount (plus £4.99 for shipping).

Worth bearing in mind.
