    Isn't that below minimum wage? Though probably only in the UK - not in India.

      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

        Can you hold a paint brush?

        Painter and decorators charge about £150 per day these days and are never short of work.

        No studying, certification or lengthy interviews, plenty of pub time, plenty of bored housewives to entertain.

          Do support monkeys really earn that much?
          Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

            Painters range from £80-£120/day cash really....

            Builders on the other hand... £200+/day isn't unheard of. Not far off my first contract day rate of £250/day (I was buzzing when I got that can you imagine!)

              Not in and around London they don't. Lots of wealthy southerners with lots of money and no time, hence rates for every trade is booming.

              Why anyone in IT bothers with sub £300/day rates is mind boggling....
