Can they do this?

Well lets see what the Human Rights lobby have to say.

Remember GHQ in the 80’s!

"The Equality Bill will still allow churches to hire only male clergy and will let faith-based charities continue to recruit people of the same faith where this is a requirement of the job, such as care staff who may also be asked to pray with the people they look after.  We have been absolutely clear on this throughout the Bill’s passage, but as there has been some misunderstanding around our intentions we will amend the Bill to make this clear beyond doubt.” Said Harriet Harman. Double Standards or what?

Its rumoured that the Tories intend to freeze the minimum wage from 2011.

Can they do this under European Law?

Two things Sir/Madam

1. Yes a government can freeze/suspend minimum pay.

2. They would have to be elected first and even a week is a long time in politics!
