Only in Conservative Britain

As part of the Prime Ministers call to free industry from red tape they have commissioned a report by conservative supporting venture capitalist Adrian Beecroft which includes plans for 'no-fault dismissal', which nothing more than a hire-and-fire system.

It won't come as many of a surprise that there are some backbenchers in the Conservative party that support the idea of no fault dismissals, a move that would see employee rights being serious eroded. Other notable proposals included:

• An end to a mandatory 90-day consultation period when a company is considering redundancy programmes. Instead it will suggest a standard 30-day period and an emergency five-day period if a firm is in severe distress 

• A cap on loss-of-earnings compensation for employees who make successful discriminatory dismissal claims 

• Reform of the rights that workers are allowed to "carry" to new employers when their companies are the subject of a takeover 

• Scrapping provisions in the Equality Act which make employers liable for claims from employees for "third-party harassment", such as customers making "sexist" comments to staff in a restaurant 

• Shifting responsibility for checking foreign workers' eligibility to work in the UK from employers to the Border Agency or the Home Office

It has been reported that a Minister has said that action was already being taken on 17 of the 23 Beecroft recommendations.

It has been said in the conservative supporting press that the report has been doctored by the Prime Minsters office before being passed to the Business Department. These included to calls to delay plans to introduce flexible working for parents, to abandon proposals to allow all workers to request flexible working, and to remove regulations surrounding the employment of children.

It seems that not satisfied with taking away our human rights, the Conservative Party and  now trying to take away employees rights. They have already eroded people pensions and introduced a granny tax to while giving tax cuts to the rich. The agenda of the Conservative Party seems to be take us back a hundred years were the common man had few rights and women couldn't even vote. How long before one of them purposes work houses for the unemployed.

I thought David Cameron was a new bread of Conservative Prime Mister, but he is the same as all those that have gone before him, putting the rich and business before the people. I just hope that soon the Liberal Democrats actually see through him and pull on the plug on this Government.
