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,

We saw this coming three years ago and said
so. If other business groups had done the same
and tried to persuade their members not to vote
for the present regime of thieves, thugs, terrorists

the same could be said about the past twenty

as chief of USADA (US Authorised Dopers'
Agency) should assume his own responsibilities
first and turn his attentions to near-universal
and systematic doping by American athletes instead?
Rather than commenting on the world scene while
he and his American colleagues organise, facilitate

UK inflation highest in five years. http://www.wholesalenews.co.uk/news/uk-inflation-up-consumer-confidence-down.html
UK inflation reached its highest level in more
than five years in August 2017, according to
the latest figures from the Office for National
Statistics (ONS). Inflation hit 2.9% in August
2017, up from 2.6% in July 2017 and higher than
the 2.8% predicted by economists. According
to the ONS, the larger-than-expected rise in
inflation is due to the weakening of sterling
since the EU referendum, which is leading to
higher import costs for retailers. Higher consumer
prices, particularly for fuel, clothing and
footwear, also contributed to the rise in inflation.
Inflation now stands significantly higher than
the Bank of England’s 2% target and is
expected to reach 3% in October. (EnterpriseQuest)

Dyson says leaving the EU without a trading
deal would harm the Continent more than Britain.
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/james-dyson-brexit-radio-4_uk_59ba386ae4b0edff97195cb7?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D1665820589_uk
Mr Dyson will be moving his manufacturing
back to the UK then?
Although
on the face of it, Dyson does have a point.
If you look at supermarket shelves in the UK
for example, they are absolutely packed with
European (especially French) products. Look
at supermarket shelves elsewhere in Europe (especially
in France) and you'll be lucky to spot a single
product which has been imported from Britain.
Consequently, squeezing anything which comes
from the Continent could pay dividends. However,
there are two reasons why this won't happen.
Firstly, the average British consumer is a mongrel
with absolutely no sense of patriotism or loyalty
to its own manufacturers and producers. But
more significantly and once again, as we have
been saying for decades, Britain's politicians
are even worse, mere knob polishers to Big Corp
- especially American Big Corp. And what they
would do if imports from the Continent were
to receed, would be to replace them with even
more expensive imports from the USA. Which is
probably The Big Plan, anyway.

US will be 'steadfast ally' to the UK during
Brexit, Rex Tillerson pledges. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2017/09/14/the-us-will-be-steadfast-ally-to-the-uk-during-brexit-rex-til/

they have done up until Brexit. (Oh, my God.

that it will require all data protection breaches

Consumers 'in the dark' over broadband costs.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-41226944
Today's consumers are largely in the dark
about almost everything. That's the Big Plan
and has been for decades. And with the internet
and dummyphones, it's become much simpler.

Corbyn to tell TUC. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2017/09/12/join-a-trade-union-to-beat-the-gig-economy-jeremy-corbyn-to-tel/

Brexit: UK to be 'educated' about consequences,
says Barnier. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-41140564
The French are always very keen on educating
people. Not very successful at heeding their
own lessons, mind you, so he's probably hoping
the Brits will be better pupils than his own
countrymen.
Of
course, Barnier's lessons will only be delivered
if the British fake news, pro-Brexit propaganda
machine decides to reproduce them - which is
highly unlikely as this could lead to much embarrassment
and be tantamount to an admission that the UK's
hate-preaching media has been publishing nothing
but lies. (Which is true but that's not the
point.) Consequently, I am sure M. Barnier's
bureaucratic opinions will be best aired only
in French state propaganda instead, which does
after all, help justify his existence and help
pay his salary.

What - being 'normal' again? As it used to
be for ever and ever?
Terrorists'
families should be jailed if they fail to alert
authorities, says Government's top terror adviser.

We presume this includes Tories and Blairites?

Hardly any point if children live in polluted
shitholes like London AND are subjected to school
runs every day. The results would be foregone
conclusions. Poor little winkles.

02.09.2017:
UK manufacturing growth 'accelerates'. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-41121954
In other words, it's gone from 0 m.ph. to
1 m.ph. in reverse with its murder industry
revving up in anticipation of bombing civilians
in North Korea in addition to those it's already
bombing in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria,
the Yemen, Pakistan and various other bits 'n
bobs.
Four
fifths of Britons 'proud of work'. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-41114739
That will be all those skilled immigrants
again.
Tory
peer says Brexit is good because young people
will be able to work longer hours. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/tory-peer-brexit-young-people-lord-harris-work-longer-hours-uk-leave-eu-a7922486.html
They can always work all the hours God sends
by becoming self-employed or running a small
business - which has nothing to do with Brexit,
past or present. It's also a moot point whether
Little Ingerlandt's Millennium Morons would
want to work at all, much less work longer hours.
Or, another reminder why Brexit Knobheads -
especially Tory Brexit Knobheads - are now an
international laughing stock.
EHIC:
Free healthcare for British citizens travelling
to the EU after Brexit still in doubt. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-ehic-free-healthcare-british-citizens-after-latest-negotiations-david-davis-barnier-a7922651.html
They will just have to do what the self-employed
do. Fall ill only when it's convenient to do
so.
WhatsApp
down. http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/whatsapp-down-not-working-app-broken-loading-not-connecting-messages-sending-a7922696.html
It might be more pertinent if 'the internet'
regularly published what bits of it ARE working?
How
the Tupperware party became a million dollar
idea. http://www.bbc.com/news/av/business-41101952/how-the-tupperware-party-became-a-million-dollar-idea
It looks like BBC 'news' is following in
the footsteps of its tv programming: fifty-year-old
repeats.
World's
'most extreme' pop-up shop opens on side of
a cliff. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/09/01/worlds-extreme-pop-up-shop-opens-side-cliff/
01.09.2017:
Currency rates hit new low at airport bureaux
de change. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-41097401
Is this really 'news'? Does anyone actually
use airport bureaux de change any more, especially
after all the stories in the media? I can't
remember the last time I saw anyone actually
using one to change money - and I travel a lot.
'First
clear sign' of rising rents as buy-to-let investors
pass on higher tax. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/investing/buy-to-let/first-clear-sign-rising-rents-buy-to-let-investors-pass-higher/
Online
gambling firm 888 hit with record £7.8m
penalty. http://www.bbc.com/news/business-41105949
Nearly
half of professional athletes surveyed break
rules to enhance performance. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2017/08/30/nearly-half-professional-athletes-surveyed-break-rules-enhance/
Now here's a long-running story which hasn't
broken wind with the same degree of drama as
the west's fake news propaganda lavished on
Russian doping infringements in recent months.
Not that this is 'headline' news, either and
the content has been toned down as well without
any fingers being pointed at the systematic
doping by the Americans, the Jamaicans, the
Nigerians, etc, etc. Can't be stressing out
the 'evil' BBC, the IAAF, WADA, the IoC, the
sponsors and all the rest of the sporting world's
cheating, 'anti-doping' hypocrites, can we now?
(And especially now that Big Pharma are supplying
'leisure' performance-enhancing drugs on an
industrial scale which is where the real problem
of doping abuse exists.)
