As in other statistics it is not easy to compare. Overtime often carries a premium on top of hourly rate especially in manufacturing and if o'time is regular it may be cheaper to offer a periodic bonus than to pay o'time rates. To offer a lump sum might be more attractive to an employee.

At work the "we should have a group bonus for every employee" rather than individuals or silo's discussion comes up from time to time.

Great until you think about the strong performers getting less bonus pay, and and individuals who do less than the bare minimum being rewarded for it.

The company can ill afford to pay out more than it already does on bonus, funnily enough no individual wants a reduced bonus so it's stuck in a stalemate.

Wasn't it Pimlico Plumbers that experimented with telling everyone who earned what with very mixed implications!

Transparent salaries I think are actually a good idea. Not pushing hard enough? Everyone will know it.

A lesson in how to crudely spin statistics surrounding an issue to political advantage and to divert from those that matter. No mention there about the increase of newly reportable offences creating very different parameters. No mention there about the number of actual physical crimes no longer pursued by police because the time available after chasing shadows and unsubstantiated allegations is so limited. Corbyn is nothing more than a troublemaker, a rabble rouser.

Amusing that he comes out with that when there's been an allegation of a Jewish protester being seriously assaulted at a momentum type meeting in the last day and that in absolute terms, by population, Jews are twice as likely to be subject to racially abused than any other minority.

What's the alleged issue with his party again....?

Haha it looks like a graph of how to correctly wave to your leader! From the shoulder the gradient must be....

The only "politics of division" I can see in this country is that instigated by this turd and those he associates with. He is an utterly shameless hypocritical loser.

Corbyn cherry-picks hate crime data

"The very same report that Mr Corbyn is citing warns readers: “data from the police are not suitable for longer-term trends in hate crime.” That’s because “it is known that police recorded crime data have been heavily affected by improvements in crime recording by the police over recent years.”

and

"... in the view of the ONS and the Home Office, the Crime Survey remains the best available measure of long term changes in the number of hate crimes. Crime Survey data shows that the number of hate crimes has fallen by 40 per cent in the last decade."

Hate crime statistics are pointless anyway since they just require the opinion of the victim, not the actual motive of the perpetrator

I just watched the BBC news and they tried to get Corbyn to talk about anti-semitism as he left his home on his bike.........and he promptly turned left at the end of his street, the wrong way up a one-way street.

Has the law changed? Cyclists, eh?

The 101 phone service has just crashed due to an unprecedented number of calls all reporting a cyclist going the wrong way up a one-way street. biggrin

Not true, but funny if it were.

If it were a Tory doing the same, it would be the 999 phone service that crashed wink

I saw that too, but not knowing which street is where his hovel is, you can't be sure that there's not a contra-direction cycle lane.
