It's official...
We are all lazy people who were/are not grafting enough.
This must be the most authorative view given that it's source is the most likely next PM. All you 70 to 80+ year olds who have been claiming for years how hard you have worked, fought wars for your your country etc. were actually not working very hard it would appear. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A5ehnIC-TI No political inputs please. But your inputs on how you will put matters right, expecially if now enjoying retirement, would be most helpful for us somewhat yourger memebrs of the lazy public.

I'd graft by bricking up the doors of parliament and letting them all rot inside.

And there was me thinking that the vast majority of problems come down from the top......
Who has ever worked for a genuinely great manager/company etc vs a duff one? In the same vein who had a genuinely brilliant teacher A quick Google search comes up with rather a lot of information from some seriously respected sources about where low productivity starts it's life. |

Parliament… little has changed since Cromwell's view of it in 1653, and he had the right idea. About time it was overhauled. They all take credit for what goes well and blame others when TSHTF or it goes FUBAR. Inflation has nothing to do with 'greedy trade unions' or folk not grafting. It is and always will be a result of failed government fiscal policy. The Bank of England supposedly 'targets 2% inflation', so they actually approve of a stealth tax of 2% compound robbing the most vulnerable in society. We have 10% inflation, so they clearly missed that target by a country mile. Might printing £450 billion while half the country wasn't producing have a mild effect? Our modern world is only possible due to cheap energy, but we're shutting down all the old industries that produce that energy faster than implementing less polluting ones in the name of saving the planet. Then the black swan event of Russia invading Ukraine just adds to the misery. Rant over. Gotta get back to grafting |

At a leisurely and non-optimum pace, no doubt!

Only listening to what she was saying she didn't say lazy.
She is though, to some degree, correct. I've worked for good managers and good companies. I've also worked for bad managers and bad companies. Ti's the way of the world. |

My apologies for the loose translation. If a worker is described as lacking application and needing graft, would most people not loosely translate that into 'lazy'? If not, what would be a more appropriate one-word translation? Note that her comments were about workers. This includes includes workers of all levels including management.
