Punching Down on Those Cutting Back

Posted on August 31, 2022

There was a debate on the radio the other day about fuel crisis and the impending winter. It’s quite amazing how many people this is going to have a detrimental effect on. We are talking millions. The price hikes are so high, meaning like many people, I have kind of gone into denial. A schoolteacher came on to the show and explained quite succinctly how ‘luxury’ things like his gym membership and annual two week holiday would ...

The Flow of Turds and Money

Posted on August 23, 2022

Self-Employment, Unions and Workers Rights

Posted on August 4, 2022

All that I knew was that there was to be a strike and my boss, Anne, disapproved. I didn’t like her, so I went on strike, which involved turning up to a meeting for an hour, then having a half day. Workers Rights Thereafter, up until I set up my own business, any protection I ...
