AIBU to be laughing,. A lot. What is he to do? He's lost his supply of cheap labour having voted and campaigned for it to happen.

Literally the best news I’ve had all day 🤣🤣🤣

Arbadacarba · 02/06/2021 12:22

Wetherspoons pubs are awful. Grubby and soulless places.

EnjoyingTheSunshine · 02/06/2021 12:22

Hahahaha hahahaha 😂😂😂👍😅

WhenSheWasBad · 02/06/2021 12:23

What a tit.

Apparently pre Brexit he explained that if companies were struggling to employ staff. The companies would have to increase their wages.
Man’s an arse.

Blacktothepink · 02/06/2021 12:23

Ha ha ha ha, talk about turkeys voting for Christmas 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

pussycatlickinglollyices · 02/06/2021 12:24

He'll have to get off his fat arse and work in one of his own filthy pubs.

SchrodingersImmigrant · 02/06/2021 12:24

I remember the leaflet/ booklet I got through mailbox from them.
I am laughing.

BrightYellowDaffodil · 02/06/2021 12:26

Serves him right. Shame he won't be able to serve his customers...

This has cheered me up.

Iquitit · 02/06/2021 12:30

Has he raised his wages to attract staff?
Or maybe they're all working in Tesco, like he told them to in the first lockdown?

TrickorTreacle · 02/06/2021 12:32

You reap what you sow.

GabsAlot · 02/06/2021 12:43

it is quite funny that he ranted about it all so much and now has to raise his staffs wages if he wants them silly man

longwayoff · 02/06/2021 12:44

Has cheered me up a lot Grin he'll "just have to adapt".

Maybe he shouldn’t have told all his staff to go get jobs in supermarkets last year!

Absolutely no sympathy for him! (Lots of sympathy for his staff)

Port1aCastis · 02/06/2021 12:49

Nothing like a supreme dose of you reap what sow
Sorry but serves him right he was the person spouting off and who paid for propaganda to be put through the populations letter boxes so my heart pumps piss for him!
Grin Grin

I see he's cut from the same cloth as Mr James 'Brexit is the best thing since sliced bread but let me just move my Head Office to Singapore which coincidentally recently signed a trade deal with the EU' Dyson.

FetchezLaVache · 02/06/2021 12:53

Oh, be careful what you wish for, Timmy!

I remember DP dragging me into one of his vile pubs before the referendum and there was a shitload of political propaganda on the tables ("Tim Says..."). I vowed then never to darken his doors again. After the way he treated his staff over Covid, I only regretted that I couldn't boycott the cunt more than I already was doing...

NameyNameyNameChangey · 02/06/2021 12:53

Good.

newnortherner111 · 02/06/2021 12:58

Mr Tim Martin can have these staff, if he pays them £25k a year.

moova · 02/06/2021 13:05

What a tosser.

Milesbennettdyson · 02/06/2021 13:06

I think the solution is to make going to work and all round the year and hours childcare provision much better, so people who already live here are much more attracted to this line of work.

We really don’t respect our hospitality workers here compared to other countries.

Milesbennettdyson · 02/06/2021 13:07

Sorry my post should have said:

I think the solution is to make going to work pay more than benefits to make it actually worth people’s while and all round the year and hours childcare provision much better, so people who already live here are much more attracted to this line of work.

We really don’t respect our hospitality workers here compared to other countries.

RuggerHug · 02/06/2021 13:08

After his 'go work in Tesco' comments at the first lockdown he's lost his beloved native staff as well. Too funny.
