Viewpoint by Len Tondel, from 1st December 2019
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,

Small business confidence slumps to five-year
low. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/small-businesses-confidence-fsb-general-election-jobs-a9263356.html
Really? Yet it seems like just a couple of
weeks ago that there was universal approval
and optimism from the business community surrounding
the re-election of 'the businessman's' Tory
regime? Or was that merely fake news and propaganda
again?
Climate
change could render assets worthless,
Bank of England governor warns. https://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change-finance-assets-worthless-mark-carney-bio-divestment-a9263861.html
This means climate change is clearly 'anti-Semitic'.
A law which makes climate change illegal needs
to be passed!
Thousands
caught up as pensions plundered by rogue investment
scams. https://tinyurl.com/rffqvn5
And then there are all those pensioners'
savings schemes paying virtually no interest
because the regime needs the money to bomb,
starve and murder children, instead.
UK
house prices treble in the last 20 years
Halifax. https://tinyurl.com/wxek6dp
Almost keeping pace with debt levels and
the falling value of the £, then.
Size
matters more than location to many homeowners,
study finds. https://tinyurl.com/yx3slucf
Huge
increase in teenage entrepreneurs, study suggests.
https://tinyurl.com/svryzmf
You would have thought that the Tory propaganda
machine (Brownshirt 'gurus', fake news media
and fake stats) would already have been aware
of this happy event rather than having to glean
it from a study which just 'suggests'.
Sons
twice as likely to inherit family firms as daughters,
study suggests. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2019/12/28/sons-twice-as-likely-to-inherit-family-firms-as-daughters-study/

New Year Honours: Publication of addresses a
'complete disaster'. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-50937775
A totally befitting Tory cock-up to accompany
some of the wasters who have received New Year
Honours.
Anti-Semitic

Once again, it's the vast, silent majority
of ordinary people and small businesses which
have to bear the brunt while the snout-in-trough,
mainstream, Jewish-owned and edited media and
their tiny handful of elitists concoct 'anti-Semitic'
conspiracies and lobby for undemocratic laws
designed to obfuscate and deflect the truth
from their personal, often criminal interests
which only combine to fuel anti-Semitic sentiments
and not the reverse. After all, you would have
thought that now that Jeremy Corbyn hasn't been
able to form a government, anti-Semitism would
have abruptly come to an end!
French
government gets go ahead to trawl social media
for tax cheats. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/tax-avoidance-social-media-privacy-france-information-gerald-darmanin-a9262696.html
We have been warning about this from the
moment social media was first dumped in the
U-bend. Drones, American facial recognition
shiteware and AI (American Idiot version) will
be getting reported in the fake news media next.
Years after they have already been commissioned
to spy on and hamstring the country's 5 million
small businesses.
Roadside

sector's profits by changing its 'practices'
would mean much smaller donations to the Tory
regime.

to ban zero-hours contracts, poll finds. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-government-zero-hour-contract-ban-latest-a9257281.html
If Britain's first American Prime Minister
did this the Tory party would lose most of its
donors overnight. Which is why Corbyn's/a prospective
Labour government which promised to do the same
thing was accused of being 'anti-Semitic'. (Plus
other snout-in-trough, self-interest groups
feeling threatened, of course. Like the tax-dodging,
taxpayer susbsidised, offshore, fake news media
itself.)
Latest
business statistics report published. https://researchbriefings.parliament.uk/ResearchBriefing/Summary/SN06152
In
2019 there were 5.9 million businesses in the
UK, 200,000 more than in 2018, according to
the House of Commons 'Business Statistics' briefing
paper. The statistics reveal that over 99% of
UK businesses are small or medium-sized and
96% (5.6 million) are micro-businesses. The
statistics also reveal that micro-businesses
account for 33% of UK employment and 22% of
turnover compared to larger businesses which
account for 40% of employment and 48% of turnover.
That's
an awfully huge majority of businesses which
aren't listed, which don't lobby politicians
and which don't appear in the mainstream fake
news media hundreds of times a day. (Not even
hundreds of times a year!) Which would be 'anti-Semitic'
of course.

2019, according to the IMRG Capgemini Online
Retail Index. This was the largest year-on-year
increase in 2019 and online sales were 54% higher
than in October 2019. The sectors which registered
the biggest increases in online sales were clothing,
health and beauty, and beer, wine and spirits.

Almost as 'shameless' as the west's state
media in that case, which continually tries
to minimise the impact of Saudi war crimes,
terrorism and the murder and starvation of millions
of defenceless civilians
by constantly pointing the finger at the much
lesser issues of human rights abuse instead.
Still. It's how the propaganda and fake news

British - sport-and-culture washing.

if it's performance-linked! Although it does
beggar belief that Macron has advisors dumb
enough to have suggested that this gesture might
actually impress someone?! The French fake news

chlorinated chicken amid fears of Trump trade
deal. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-deal-latest-chlorinated-chicken-us-trade-deal-trump-a9255761.html
It's why the Tories were elected. It would

It's why the Tories were elected. It would
have been 'anti-Semitic' to have done otherwise.
Anyway, successive political fags passed control
of Britain's
so-called 'defence' industry to the Americans
decades ago.

for 2019 election, study finds. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/uk-election-press-media-conservative-tory-labour-criticism-bias-a9255551.html
Or, not so much 'press' as a coalition of
offshore, tax-dodging, criminal, fake news,
disinformation and propaganda sources, worried
about Labour clamping down on their assorted
scams. And not so much a 'cut in criticism of
the Tories' as Tory regime propaganda 'peddling
lies and smears.' https://truepublica.org.uk/united-kingdom/electoral-propaganda-the-collective-failure-of-the-establishment-media-and-how-they-peddled-lies-and-smears/
Just like always, really. From Brexit to the
fake 'war on terrorism' to fake 'anti-Semitism'
to fake employment statistics. There's a lot
of shekels to be made from peddling lies.

increases by 11% in one year. https://truepublica.org.uk/united-kingdom/number-of-households-homeless-or-threatened-with-homelessness-increases-by-11-in-one-year/
There's a lot of shekels to be made from
making people homeless, as well. And it would
have been 'anti-Semitic' to have voted for anyone
who cared about the homeless.

Plenty of examples of tenant horror stories

EU headquarters built by undocumented migrants,
workers claim. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/dec/20/eu-headquarters-built-by-undocumented-migrants-workers-claim
The EU administration - and the French especially

labour on a regular basis before getting the

so they cannot be interviewed and asked to testify.
'It's

Can this be right? The state fake media has
been suggesting recently that America has been
'winning' the trade war with China. Just as
they were 'winning' the war in Afghanistan,
etc. Until someone officially decided to change
the propaganda story recently to correspond
to what the independent press has been reporting
for the past twenty years.

another boss continuing to make a huge fortune
from exploiting the stupid, the vulnerable and
the addicted thanks to the same Tory regime.
Any room in the fake news, state media about

Economists hail employment data as welcome
news for new Government. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2019/12/17/economists-hail-employment-data-as-a-welcome-newsa-for-new-go/
Employment data, which shifted its statistical
goalposts quite significantly under the Tory
regime, has become more of a propaganda tool
than a meaningful economic indicator. A much
more relevant factor at present, is the dramatic
fall in business and manufacturing output -
which is what pays the country's bills after
all - and not a thousand Brexit-voting wasters
pretending to do the work of a single, Polish
plumber.

Business
organisations react to general election result.
Business
organisations have called for measures from
the new Government to support business confidence
and avoid a no-deal Brexit, following the general
election result on 12 December 2019.
The
Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) national
chairman Mike Cherry said: "Small business
owners will be hoping that the clear result
helps to bring stability back to the economy.
After more than three years on Brexit ... the
Conservative Party has pledged to tackle the
many domestic challenges that have been neglected
during that time."
FSB
and the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) also
called for the Government to reform business
rates and deliver an orderly Brexit that gives
businesses time to prepare.
BCC
director general Dr Adam Marshall said: "Our
business communities need to see swift, decisive
action to avoid a messy and disorderly exit
from the EU and to tackle the barriers holding
back investment and growth here in the UK."

Pret A Manger owners to donate millions to

labour. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/pret-a-manger-krispy-kreme-nazi-past-reimann-family-a9243421.html
That's taken a long time to establish what
the locals alone would immediately have been
able to confirm. And Russian civilian and French
prisoner-of-war slave labour? Really? The Germans
typically chose slave labour which could also
speak German and that generally excluded the
Russians so they were almost always shot instead.
Whereas the French were virtually Nazi allies
during the Second World War, charged with betraying,
torturing and executing their own 'terrorist'
compatriots who formed the resistance (like
Jean d'Arc) and other collaborative services
like providing prisoner of war camps. And as
for any Jewish labour, they all went to Auschwitz,
didn't they? (According to the latest re-writing
of Second World War events by a few fake Jewish
'historians' and their fake news and disinformation,
Semitic media who are pretending at the moment,
they don't even know where Auschwitz was!)
Consequently,
we can only imagine that it's the business acumen
of the Reimann family which has determined the
timing of this gesture, rather than any pangs
of conscience. Still, it's all money on the
table and welcome for that - especially if there
are plans afoot to move into the Russian and
French markets as well.

Over
70% of businesses are unaware of the IR35 rules

according to a survey carried out by consultants
Sullivan & Stanley. The survey reveals that
only a fifth of businesses would be ready for
the rule change by April 2020, 32% say they
would be compliant within six months after the
rules are introduced and 9% believe it would
take between seven months and a year to become
compliant. However, the Conservatives, Labour
and the Liberal Democrats have all confirmed
that they will review the IR35 rules if they

Counterfeit
goods costing UK economy £9.2bn. https://www.accountancydaily.co/counterfeit-goods-costing-uk-economy-ps92bn
The UK economy is missing out on billions a
year as a result of the global trade in fake
goods, which was behind more than 86,000 lost
jobs in 2016, according to the OECD.
And
just how is this cost measured bearing in mind
that the vast majority of consumers can neither
afford the price of genuine luxury or they have
an ethical objection to feathering the nest
of some Frog from across the Channel who's blatant
exploitation of the public now makes him the
richest man in the world?

'War industry'? Now there's a euphemism.
Since the Second World War, almost the entire
American economy has been based on murder, terrorism,
war crimes and crimes against humanity, with
much theft, fraud, blackmail, money-laundering
and sponsorship of all forms of criminal activity
thrown in for good measure. Could 95% of the
country's business community - small businesses
- fill that vacuum?
Boris
Johnson book depicts Jews as controlling the
media. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-book-jews-control-media-general-election-a9239346.html
Amazingly, this is probably the first truthful
assertion Little Ingerlandt's first, un-elected,
American, fake Prime Minister has ever made.
In fact, it's so truthful that it beggars belief
the book hasn't immediately been screamed down
as being 'anti-Semitic' by the Semitic fake
news and disinformation propaganda/media which
has been trying to obfuscate and keep a lid
on its own cesspit since the Second World War.
After all, there are big interests involved
here which have absolutely nothing to do with
democracy, the public interest, freedom of speech,
or the common good generally. Which is why the
Jewish media is such a big favourite with every
ass-wipe on the planet, of course, while fuelling
unprecedented levels of real anti-Semitism at
the same time. Although
now that another one of their clients has come
clean, perhaps some apologies from attention-seeking,
hate-preaching, conspiratorial rabbis and their
publicity organs (including bent politicians)
would be in order?

General election 2019: Reddit says UK-US trade
talks document leak 'linked to Russia'. https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-50695558
Reliable reports of the NHS/the UK's most
profitable and sensitive companies being up
for grabs by the Americans (as never mentioned
in the Semitic fake news and disinformation
media - which is why the reports are 'reliable')
have been circulating for several years now.
Unlike Reddit's last-minute, unsubstantiated
conspiracy theory offered on the very eve of
election-time.
Although
of course, if the Ruskies really are behind
circulating the truth about the serial-lying,
criminal, Tory regime's plans, then good for
them. It's closer to democracy and public interest
than our politicians, civil servants and state
propaganda are prepared to offer, especially
if it is also true that the Ruskies have been
sponsoring the Tories to boot.
(And
who are Reddit, exactly?)

Of course. And so boxing joins that other
circus of hypocrisy, cheating, doping and whoring
- professional cycling, which is almost always
the first port of call when pariah, terrorist
states like Saudi Arabia and Israel want to
sportwash their bloodsoaked images. Although
admittedly, still a long way behind Nazi Germany,
the USA, Britain and France who have a preference
for football, in any case.

sentences with illiterate Anglo Saxon expressions
(and often abreviated, as is the idle French
wont.)
Slaughter
of the songbirds: the fight against France's
'barbaric' glue traps. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/nov/30/slaughter-of-the-songbirds-the-fight-against-frances-barbaric-glue-traps-aoe
On the other hand, supporters (nuisibles)
of French 'tradition' slaughter millions of
songbirds instead, as well as shoot a couple
of dozen innocent members of the public each
year, wanting just a quiet stroll in the countryside
at the weekends.
It's
a bit like the increasingly tiresome stories
of 'anti-Semitism' in the UK's Semitic fake
news and disinformation media-cum Tory propaganda.
A lot of noise from a tiny handful of hate-preaching
and elitist supporters and advocates of terrorism,
war crimes, apartheid and corporate greed while
the vast majority of decent Jews, indeed, the
entire electorate, don't have any real issues
at all and simply want to get on as best they
can with everyone around them.
Yet
does the current Tory regime itself have any
notable, prominent and competent Jewish Ministers,
as did Margaret Thatcher's governments, for
example? Or, as history has shown and certainly
in my own 40 years of experience of dealing
with politicians, not only are the Tories traditionally
anti-Semitic but Islamophobic, homophobic, in
fact, everyone-phobic if they aren't just another
bent, public school fag.
