Scroll down for: A Home and Small Business Viewpoint by Len Tondel, from 1st August 2023

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


31.08.2023: Call for self-employed to pay higher taxes. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/uk-broaden-tax-burden-strains-151644339.html The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) believes that the Government should increase taxes on the self-employed and homeowners, as well as on capital gains, to fund more spending on public services and welfare. The IFS claims that lower tax rates on income from capital, compared with tax on employment, are distorting the labour market by encouraging self-employment and have led to people with similar earnings facing very different tax bills.

Hub to support self-employed people in debt. https://adviser-hub.businessdebtline.org Business Debtline has launched a new AdviserHub to help advisers across the debt advice sector support small business owners in financial difficulty. The hub is free to access and covers common challenges advisers face when helping self-employed clients, such as HMRC queries, separating out business and personal costs, and completing a budget.

Unite warns over increase in 'bogus' self-employment. https://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/view/15-spike-in-cis-workers According to Unite, around 1.2 million construction workers were paid via the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) in 2022/23, a year-on-year increase of 15%. Unite has claimed that a large percentage of workers operating under CIS are "bogusly self-employed" when, in reality, they should be directly employed. This means they are missing out on basic employment rights such as holiday or sick pay and can be fired without notice.

Smaller businesses struggling to pay contractors on time. https://www.sonovate.com/media-coverage/four-in-ten-uk-smes-take-over-90-days-to-pay-their-contract-staff/ Four in ten small and medium-sized business take over 90 days to pay their contract workers, a year-on-year increase of 40%. Nearly two thirds (63%) of small businesses claim that late payments from their own clients or customers have a negative knock-on impact on their ability to pay contract workers on time.

Staff shortages hold back bumper bank holiday trade, say pub bosses. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/staff-shortages-hold-back-bumper-121054133.html It's not just staff shortages as in 'bodies' but staff which can think, work, interact socially and professionally and do basic summs. Which rules out peope who walk about holding dummyphones.

Scrapping EU-era protections on nutrient neutrality ‘will boost housebuilding’. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/scrapping-eu-era-protections-nutrient-090914453.html According to the bent, stupid Turdy regime propaganda, that is. Notwithstanding 750,000 houses standing empty. And builders and property developers currently under official investigation for amassing land banks. There is one reason and one reason only why the corrupt Turdy regime is dropping these protections: housebuilders' (and Turdy donors') profits.

UK Travellers May Face 30-Day Delays For Visiting These European Countries. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/uk-holidaymakers-warned-euro-pass-105240881.html

29.08.2023: UK air traffic control failure as holidaymakers flying on bank holiday warned of long delays. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/uk-air-traffic-control-failure-110936475.html The gutter media continues to think that the only travellers which are ever affected are 'holidaymakers'. Still. A very 'coincidental' failure, this?

Ryanair, Jet2.com and Tui ranked worst in UK for website accessibility. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/ryanair-jet2-com-tui-ranked-230100681.html They will have spent a lot of money to have made it that way.

Unless they are Turdy voters in which case they are simply selling their grannies to white slavers.

‘Greasy food but friendly people’: Britain through the eyes of German tourists. https://uk.yahoo.com/style/greasy-food-friendly-people-britain-120000752.html 'One' (1) German tourist. But - close enough to a national tendency for the gutter media.

Just two migrants deported to EU under post-Brexit deal. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-migrants-aslyum-seekers-crisis-b2399797.html Which means all the other 'migrants' had a legitimate right to come to the UK. Astonishing how much mileage the country's Nazi propaganda machine have managed to wring out of this non-event. Wouldn't it be a better idea to deport to Rwanda all the scum which doesn't deserve to stay in the country? The Turdies and Brexiteers; their voters. Telecons, energy, utilities, transport and Post Office management. Goodness, that would thin out the scroungers, the wasters and the plain stupid.

Supermodel Bella Hadid called an ‘Israel hater’ by zionist Nazi, terrorist, war criminal, pro-invasion minister. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/25/bella-hadid-israel-settlers-itamar-ben-gvir-palestine If Israel is to have a future and there is to be an end to true 'anti-semitism' then Bella Hadid is among those who have the courage and the respect to lead the way. Unlike zionist gutter propaganda which whitewashes cowardly Israeli mass murderers as the 'far right'.

And farmers supposedly voted for the Turdies. So this is what they've got. If farmers have been so stupid and gullible as to dig themselves into their latest hole then it really does beg the question: are they too stupid to be responsible for the country's food supply?

More than 80% of items sold via online marketplaces fail safety tests. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/more-than-80-of-items-sold-via-online-marketplaces-fail-safety-tests/ar-AA1fKgJI?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=ENTPSP&cvid=cbbdaf5c719e43838f4879b07f8dea34&ei=34

(Well. According to North American Terrorist Organisation - NATO - propaganda, that is.) And is that the only 'success story' the so-called 'recruitment scheme' has to boast about? Out of how many MILLIONS (according to NATO propaganda) of displaced Ukrainian refugees?

Ministers in talks to extend the UK’s Ukrainian visa scheme as refugees say they’re living in limbo. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/ministers-in-talks-to-extend-the-uk-s-ukrainian-visa-scheme-as-refugees-say-they-re-living-in-limbo/ar-AA1fKJiY?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=ceced5fc124a455eb7c9979fae8946f8&ei=11 This is more like it. And that is because - if the UK is going to remain true to its historical form - the regime will be preparing to get rid of Ukrainian refugees once their usefulness has ended.

Lax post-Brexit trade rules pave way for invasive species to come to Britain. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/lax-post-brexit-trade-rules-pave-way-for-invasive-species-to-come-to-britain/ar-AA1fLn65?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=4b2e830f51164490b627bcad6eb2b810&ei=10 They have obviously heard about the success of the last invasive species: American apes.

If 'evil Albanian gangs' are the problem then you target evil Albanian gangs. Not 'migrants'. Either, you bounce them immediately at their point of entry and return them to whence they came. If not, it's what the police are for - and not just filming 'fake' reality tv series, Haribo ads and arresting peaceful protesters. And while they are about it, they can target all the other 'evil gangs' which Turdy MPs on the other hand, have recently been welcoming with open arms. Terrorists. War criminals. Murderers. The mafia. 'Ordinary' crooks. Money launderers. Thieves. Tax dodgers. And so on.

German business sentiment worsens further in August - Ifo. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/german-business-sentiment-worsens-further-in-august-ifo/ar-AA1fL8EZ?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=90e857f73e84423cadfcc2ce70cb0792&ei=12 Yet still they persist in sending armaments to the terrorists who blew up their gas pipeline and which constituted an act of war against Germany itself? Or are they? (Never mind what appears in NATO disinformation and propaganda.)

Nonetheless, the current populist mood in all of Africa is that it is high time it got rid of its parasitic, Franco-American, illegal migrant infestation once and for all.
