Viewpoint by Len Tondel, from 1st December 2018
By
way of explanation. The
term 'home business' consists of two words.
'Business' is the second one; it's there to
qualify and support the word 'home' and all
that goes with it - and not vice versa. Consequently,
we also list below, items which are of interest
and value to the home. Whether in its context
as an office or as a part of your family and
lifestyle but always
directed at the improved prospects and enjoyment
that running a business from home, in its entirety,
can bring.
For a current, multi-part
overview of
starting and running a
business from home,
go here: http://www.homebusiness.org.uk/features.htm
 31.12.2018:
Brexit: Liam Fox accused of ‘burying head
in sand’ after touting Pacific trade pact
as boon for UK exports. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-liam-fox-tpp-uk-exports-scotch-pacific-rim-a8703491.html
Hardly 'burying his head in the sand'
but rather 'going through the motions'
of a serial-lying failure and laughing-stock
who has been unable to fulfill one, solitary
promise from the Brexit campaign of misinformation,
fake promises and endless bullshit to which
he has been a major contributor.
Tech
companies ‘failing to prevent people-smugglers
luring migrants to their deaths’, says
UN. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/migrants-tech-companies-smugglers-deaths-lure-facebook-whatsapp-channel-mediterranean-un-a8703416.html
It's not tech companies which have produced
millions of refugees who have been bombed and
starved out of their homes and countries. That's
down to the spineless UN and the world's terrorist
states like the USA, the UK, France, Israel
and Saudi Arabia which it works for, and who
are always lurching around looking to pass the
buck elsewhere for the murderous chaos which
they - and they alone - have created.
Brexit
department spends £4m hiring outside consultants
in preparation to leave the EU. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-department-deal-latest-eu-spending-taxpayers-money-a8703286.html
And it's only just started . . .
Just
5 per cent of new homes to be built with government
money will be most affordable type, ministers
admit. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/government-housing-social-homes-spending-5-per-cent-affordable-council-theresa-may-conference-a8689591.html
This has been common knowledge for years
- although the fake news media which derives
millions in advertising from the property market,
would certainly be up to pretending that it's
something which has escaped their scratting,
venal, hypocritical attention so far.
Congestion,
strikes, staff shortages, engineering work and
price rises mark end of terrible year for travel.
https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/rail-train-strikes-staff-shortage-northern-south-western-paddington-gwr-heathrow-airport-a8703451.html
Sounds just like Escape to France!

billion in 2018’. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2018/12/27/value-of-britaina-s-homes-a-increased-by-a-83-billion-in-2018a/
On the other hand, the value of sterling
has fallen by ten times that amount since Messrs
Johnson, Davies, Fox, Reek-Mug and the fake
news media began to pretend they could run the
country.
British

Brexit and staff shortages, leading restaurateurs
warn. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/uk-curry-industry-brexit-staff-shortages-bangladesh-catering-association-a8677911.html
Curry isn't compatible with Little Ingerlandt's
status as an American colony - so it has to
go. 'Kiddyburgers', instead? Or 'cowardy
custard'? Perhaps 'terrorist fudge'? Or 'propaganda
pie'?

This obviously excludes hacks, propagandascheisewriters

west's fake news media and who have nothing
whatsoever to do with 'journalism'.

But they are 'dependable'. With no stomach

on the way to 'liberate' France from its state
of anarchy at the hands of a handful of criminal
terrorist groups like the Yellow Vests and Connards
Gontre Travailleurs (CGT). And perhaps some

High streets suffering as Government ‘tied
up with Brexit’. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2018/12/23/high-streets-suffering-as-government-a-tied-up-with-brexita/
Rubbish! The high streets have been suffering
for decades and that's because successive regimes
of British public school fags have been 'tied
up' with American and Israeli interests and
Brexit is just the latest excuse for 'long may
it continue.'
How
easy would it really be for the UK to do trade
deals with emerging markets after Brexit?
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/analysis-and-features/brexit-trade-deals-emerging-markets-liam-fox-goods-services-immigration-a8694576.html
With the current combination of corrupt,
incompetent war criminals fagging for the USA
and Israel, plus their hate-preaching propaganda
misinformation machine - almost impossible.
As events so far have amply demonstrated.
Does
the EU need us more than we need them? https://www.bbc.com/news/business-46612362
Not 'the EU' but 'the French'.

Another fine British idea which the French
will shortly pretend is their own, just like
everything else which gives them their fake
national indentity - from the guillotine to
champagne; fashion shows to sewers. All poached

So while successive British war criminal
regimes have been bombing millions of defenceless
civilians in other countries, the real 'terrorist'
threat to the nation came from within and it
has brought this country to, quite literally,
a war situation. It is high treason at the very
least and one would hope that troops will be
required to do their duty properly - for once.

to a survey carried out by Aon. The survey of
small business owners revealed that 50% of respondents
are confused by the requirements of data protection
and privacy regulations and over half fail to
dispose of customer records securely. The survey
also found that a quarter of respondents allow
staff to use their personal devices for work
purposes and 25% use training materials that

That's 'anti-semitic' and there are laws,
quite rightly, against that sort of hate-preaching.
Just as there are laws against theft, murder,
terrorism and war crimes. All we need
now is for the west's Jewish-owned, fake news
media/propaganda to point that out.

payment practices damaging small business growth.
https://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/business-energy-industrial-strategy/news-parliament-2017/small-business-report-published-17-19/
Small and medium-sized businesses need to be
paid fairly and on time to be successful, according
to a report published by the Business, Energy
and Industrial Strategy Committee. The 'Small
Businesses and Productivity' report has revealed
that poor payment practices have led to the
failure of many smaller businesses and prevented
them from growing. The committee recommends
that the Government should introduce a statutory
requirement for larger companies to pay smaller
suppliers within 30 days and provide the Small
Business Commissioner with powers to fine companies
who pay late.

the funding they need to grow their business,
according to a report published by The Genesis
Initiative. The 'Improving Access to Finance
for UK SMEs' report has revealed that 52% of
small business owners approach their bank first
for finance but 46% are declined. The report
has also revealed that half of the small business
owners who were declined don't look for alternative
sources of funding. The Genesis Initiative is
a partnership of trade and business support
organisations which was set up to improve access
to finance for smaller businesses.

Rabid, criminal French striker-sheep have

small businesses across the world - for decades
and not just the past four weekends. And there,
the fault lies not with a relatively tiny minority
of parasitic, idle, selfish fonctionnaires but
with a succession of stupid, supine, laissez-faire
French governments and politicians anxious to
bolster their popularity. Perhaps they should
spend less time terrorising innocent civilians
in the pursuit of regime changes in North Africa
and the Middle East and look to cleaning up
the shite on their own doorstep first? Unless
of course, it's the Ruskies meddling in French
affairs? Sort of tit-for-tat for the French
meddling in theirs. Then of course, there's
the theory that it's the Brits at work - bored
now, with the Skripal fairytale and getting
back at the French for impeding Brexit negotiations.

And international lawyers confirmed that
sanctions against Iraq, the invasions of Iraq
and the massacre of over 5 million Iraqis was
'illegal' - but that didn't stop 'Baby Butcher'
Blair's war criminal regimes and his 'we didn't
know it was happening' voters lending a hand
to cowardly American terrorist scum to commit
those crimes. One of whose leaders responsible
for the murderous, thieving carnage is currently
having his dead arse licked by western terrorist
propaganda.
Retailers

amid weak consumer demand’. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2018/12/03/retailers-face-a-nerve-wracking-run-up-to-christmas-amid-weak-c/

to parents’ property wealth’.

Not linked to being a fake Tory entrepreneur
earning millions while they sleep, then? As
put about by Tory brownshirts and Tory state
propaganda.
Flatshare
bias: room-seekers with Muslim name get fewer
replies. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2018/dec/03/flatshare-bias-room-seekers-with-muslim-name-get-fewer-replies
After decades of hate-preaching by the country's
Jewish-owned, mainstream, fake news media that's
not really a surprise, is it? No week-long howls
of 'anti-Semitism' or 'blame Jeremy Corbyn'
for this one.
Taxpayers
treated unfairly by HMRC, says House of Lords
report. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-46431167
Just one of those 'on the ball' observations
from the House of Lords which prompts so many
people to call for it to be consigned to history.
The
Spider’s Web documentary viewed over one
million times on YouTube. https://truepublica.org.uk/united-kingdom/the-spiders-web-documentary-viewed-over-one-million-times-on-youtube/
And as not being reported by all of Little
Ingerlandt's offshore, tax-evading, hate-preaching,
fake news, criminal media.
Water

Next thing you know, people will be forced
to get into their BMWs to drive twenty miles
each way to do what bears do.
France
fuel protests: PM Philippe 'to halt fuel tax
rise'. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-46437904
Another 'rapid reaction' from French politicians
emphasising yet again, that criminals, anarchists
and casseurs are the real seat of French power
while The Little People and the country's small
businesses have to pick up the tab yet again.
As well as the EU taxpayer, of course, as The
Beggars of Europe - France - extend their scrounging
paws for yet another subvention to help pay
for the latest government's cowardly incompetence.
'Busking

councils crack down.
https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2018/dec/04/busking-might-die-out-musicians-fear-for-future-as-councils-crack-down
Hoping that public pennies thus saved can
be extorted to pay the hyper-inflated salaries
of council wasters, instead.

Brexit and late payments hit business confidence.
https://economia.icaew.com/news/november-2018/brexit-and-late-payments-top-smes-concerns
Small and medium-sized businesses have seen
their confidence drop by 20% in 2018, according
to the results of a survey by Dun & Bradstreet.
Brexit uncertainty and dealing with late payments
were identified by survey respondents as having
the most impact on their business confidence.
Recruitment difficulties, the introduction of
GDPR and the value of sterling also contributed
to the fall.

two thirds of organisations are responding to
customer data requests late, according to research
by Deloitte.

committee recommends delay to MTD for VAT.
https://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/lords-select/economic-affairs-finance-bill-sub-committee/news-parliament-2017/making-tax-digital-report/
HMRC has failed to adequately support small
businesses ahead of the introduction of Making
Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT. This is according
to the 'Making Tax Digital for VAT: Treating
Small Businesses Fairly' report published by
the House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee,
which reveals that many businesses won’t
be ready for the introduction of MTD in April
2019. The report also reveals that the smallest
businesses will struggle unless HMRC provides
a basic free software option. The committee
recommends that the introduction of MTD for
VAT should be delayed by at least one year and
transitioned in stages to allow businesses to
join when they are ready.

This was predicted by independent reporting
the moment US/British, etc, fake news propaganda
began to blow up out of all proportion the Khashoggi
murder while having ignored their own bloodied
hands in the death of hundreds of thousands
of Yemenis (and millions of Palestinians and
Syrians and Libyans and Iraqis and Afghans,
etc, etc) in the meantime. So - another common
businessman's marketplace destroyed by cowardly
American terrorist scum and their allies - not
least of all, their fagging colony of Little
Ingerlandt. Heil!
TIM
PULLS IT OFF. We have to confess admiration
for Tim Martin, the chairman of pub company
Wetherspoons. Martin has prepared his 880-pub
firm, and his customers for the looming eventuality,
some would say inevitability, of a no-deal Brexit.
"FREE TRADE MEANS LOWER PRICES" is
the message in all his pubs, and the claim is
supported by offers of drink items that Martin
has already replaced EU products with. These
include 750ml bottles of French champagne being
replaced with Hardy's Sparkling Chardonnay Pinot
Noir from Australia at £10.99, and Denbies
Sparkling Whitedown Brut and Whitedown Rose
Brut, both at £19.99, and both from England.
Also
from England, rather than the EU are 330ml bottles
of Blue Moon Belgian-style Wheat Ale and Thornbridge
Versa Weisse Beer, both at £1.99, as are
500ml bottles of Adnams Ghost Ship Low-Alcohol
(0.5%ABV). For £2.99 are 500ml bottles
of SA Brains Atlantic White from Wales. Sweden
is another non-EU choice of Martin, with its
Koppaberg fruit ciders at £2.39 for the
4% ABV varieties and £1.99 for the Alcohol-Free
(0.05%) one.
Time
for some others in our business community to
stop grovelling to the EU and get on with replacing
it then? https://ezinematters.com/
Well
- another closet Brit makes the news! We would
have been much more impressed if 'Tim' had been
Buying British all along - and not just to capture
a PR opportunity alongside the downward adjustment
of profits. And perhaps 'Tim' would also like
to let us know just how much booze Wetherspoons
are going to continue to buy from American-owned
breweries? As in not-British.
The
French village that fears for its British community.
