Yet another crazy idea is currently being explored by opposition
leader Jeremy Corbyn and his Marxist side-kick John McDonnell, and that is to
introduce a 4-day working week!
It was reported by Bloomberg that this investigative report,
is being researched by economic historian, Robert Skidelsky, a biographer of
John Maynard Keynes, and could, if it is shown that fewer hours would give a
boost to 'staff productiveness', may well end up as official Labour party policy.
This follows earlier announcements by the dynamic duo about
re-nationalising the country’s rail, energy and
water industries, changing the remit of the Bank of England to include a
productivity target, and introducing a universal basic income.
However, this policy, should it ever be accepted, would, I
suggest, instil mass panic and considerable outrage among many public sector staff, as many would need to up their game and
increase their current 3-day working activities, for the same pay...!
