Viewpoint by Len Tondel, from 1st January 2020
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,

Personal insolvencies across England and Wales
jump to nine-year high. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2020/01/30/personal-insolvencies-across-england-and-wales-jump-to-nine-year/
Any comments from the offshore 'I'm all right,
Jack' Semitic media which urged its dumb readershits
to vote for Torygeddon?
UK
businesses to face extra checks at borders under
PM's Brexit plans. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jan/30/uk-businesses-to-face-extra-checks-at-borders-under-pms-brexit-plans
Little Ingerlandt continuing with its tradition
of more red tape than any other EU country -
or, almost the exact opposite of the endless
red tape lies and propaganda which have appeared
in the fake news media.
Outrage
As Wonga Borrowers To Receive Tiny Amount Of
Compensation. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/wonga-compensation_uk_5e3288f3c5b611ac94cf9328?ncid=news-aol
Once again, perhaps the media which made
so much money from advertising payday loan companies
when they knew full well something was afoot,
could chip in towards a compensation kitty?
Or are they too busy trying to get a sniff of
Meghan Markle's knickers at the moment?
Hundreds
miss out on flood grants due to ‘obscene
postcode lottery’. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/jan/30/flood-grants-hundreds-of-families-to-miss-out-due-to-obscene-postcode-lottery
It's not a 'lottery' at all. The aim is to
reduce grant eligibility to an absolute minimum.
Trump
border wall between US and Mexico blows over

Typical Shite Made In America. Not as easy

Indeed, it would be 'anti-Semitic' for Little

Number
of new build homes started dips by 11%. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2020/01/29/number-of-new-build-homes-started-dips-by-11/
Can't Brexit Knobheads and social media wasters
be trained to do something useful like help
build houses now that the media has seen off
all the East Europeans with its campaigns of
hatred, lies and disinformation? In fact, wouldn't
it be a good idea for the media to make a major
contribution to a training levy? After its taxpayer-subsidised,
off-shore tax-dodging antics have been shut
down and its owners banged up in a house with
many windows.
Brexit
already has a winner: The Gambling Industry.
https://truepublica.org.uk/united-kingdom/brexit-already-has-a-winner-the-gambling-industry/
No
surprises there then. As major donors to the
Tory regime and the source of much advertising
revenue to the Semitic media, there had to be
something in it for the gambling industry as
well.

Retail sales flatline in January as retailers
brace for ‘tough year’. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2020/01/28/retail-sales-flatline-in-january-as-retailers-brace-for-a-tough/
Not to worry. I'm sure the Semitic media
which helped promote these conditions will immediately
be urging its readershits to Buy British. Or
is that 'anti-Semitic' and illegal and we must
all Buy Israeli Terrorist, instead?
Banks
asked to explain 40% overdraft rates. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-51278036
Well that's going to do a lot of good, just
asking! The saying, 'Shoot first, ask questions

Ofcon

financial distress’. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2020/01/26/almost-500-000-businesses-under-a-significant-financial-distres/
And what are the views of the country's Semitic
media on this ongoing tragedy facing the country's
busineses after they urged their dumb readershits
to vote for continuing Torygeddon? 'I'm taxpayer-subsidised,
offshore and all right, Jack'?

We've known this ever since the internet

they started screwing not only the country's
businesses but consumers in general?
Openreach

https://www.fwi.co.uk/business/business-management/tenancies-rents/agriculture-bill-proposes-significant-changes-to-tenancies
Measures to improve farm tenancies have been
included in the Agriculture Bill. The measures
apply to England only and include modified succession
rules and new guidance for rent reviews. The
Bill also includes provisions for tenants to
object if landlords refuse to give consent for
changes to the farm which are deemed necessary
to meet financial assistance criteria or meet
new regulations.

(only until 2021. Ed.) after Brexit.
https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2020/01/26/holidaymakers-can-a-travel-as-normala-after-brexit/
That's
not something where a piss-pot American colony
like Little Ingerlandt is going to be calling
the shots.
The rapid rise of 'Buy now, pay later'. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-51195759
Like buying on the 'never, never' since 60

Bet365
boss was UK’s biggest taxpayer last year.
https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2020/01/25/bet365-boss-was-uka-s-biggest-taxpayer-last-year/
As befits someone who sells to people's weaknesses
and addictions. Now all we want is an additional
tax to pay for the extra burden gambling has
been placing on the NHS and social services.
As
not being called for by the very same media
which makes so much money from advertising gambling.
No more than they did so for cigarette and alcohol
advertising. And polluting cars and 'planes.
And payday loans. In fact - wouldn't it be a
good idea if the media made a significant contribution
to the NHS as well? After removing their taxpayer-subsidised,
state propaganda status.
Cycling advocacy group listed on counter-terror
watch list by Home Office. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/critical-mass-cycling-group-terror-watch-list-home-office-a9301516.html
Not heard this in any recent Home Office
propaganda soundbites. So will we be seeing
the police pulling over cyclists in any future
mock reality television series?
‘Talk

call to halt antisemitism. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/26/auschwitz-memorial-ronald-lauder-world-jewish-congress-call-to-halt-antisemitism
Indeed so and why not start with the Semitic
gutter press and fake news media which has been
fuelling antisemitism with their Islamophobia,
homophobia, 'everyphobia', propaganda, lies,
disinformation as 'kingmakers' to all the corrupt,
supine, pariah governments which this so-called
Jewish supremacist 'leader' (he certainly doesn't
speak for me or any of my family, friends, colleagues
and acquaintances) claims have been contributing
to the problem.

found that not enough is being done to understand
which are most helpful. The report has revealed
that 6 out of 10 schemes don't have measurable
objectives, making it difficult for BEIS to
decide which schemes should end. The NAO recommends
that BEIS should carry out a review of support
schemes to identify those which are a strategic
fit with the Industrial Strategy and those that
may require changes.

- will mean having to buy weapons from the USA
and Israel? In any event, this sounds very much
as if a new tax on non-offshore UK small businesses
is being mooted.

that they had murdered over 30 'militants' in
Mali would be better deployed in their own country?

Probably not a very good plan as it will
give Trump ideas above his station as the most
valuable piece of shit in the world. Anyway,
Trump doesn't have a clue. It's the US administration's
permanent cabal of Jewish terrorist advisors
(Rumsfeld/Cebrowski et al again) and
their Israeli terrorist feeder unit, Mossad,
which need to be fingered.

Brexit: Boris Johnson to open trade talks with
Ursula von der Leyen. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jan/06/johnson-to-open-post-brexit-trade-talks-with-ursula-von-der-leyen
Or, talks with the EU - as not being reported
by the Semitic fake news media which urged the
population to vote Tory/Brexit/American/Israeli
terrorism recently. Piss-poor timing for Little
Ingerlandt's first American Prime Minister,
though. Just as US terrorist vermin cut loose
again to boost their oil and murder industry
profits at the expense of Joe Public from all
around the world. It will be interesting to
see how serial-lying fag, Johnson, responds
to the latest calls from European politicians
to seize American overseas assets, impose sanctions,
replace the North American Terrorist Organisation
(NATO) with a European army, ban American and
Israeli participation in the Olympics and arrest
everyone and anyone with American or Israeli
passports on the grounds of prevention of terrorism.

Growth
in UK exports to countries outside EU. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/five-times-more-demand-for-uk-exports-from-outside-the-eu
UK exports to countries outside the EU grew
almost five times as fast as exports to EU countries,
according to figures published by the Office
for National Statistics. UK exports to non-EU
countries grew by 6.3% in the 12 months to September
2019, while exports to the EU grew by 1.3%.
The figures have also revealed that UK exports
to the USA increased by 11.4% and to Japan by
7.6%.
Let's
hope these figures from the Office for National
Statistics are more credible than its fake 'employment'
statistics!

Parliament

Parliament is always being 'seriously misled'

The taxpayer could reasonably expect however,
that stupid Parliamentarians aren't taken in
every single time. It would be much more productive
therefore, to identify all the key players who
contributed to Parliament being 'seriously misled'
- including any Parliamentarians themselves.

It would be more accurate to describe the
(fake news and disinformation) media as the
thieves of retailers' Christmas gladness for
promoting Black Friday to the extent they do.
In fact, I can't remember the last time the
media promoted any small business/retailers'
interests whatsoever, even though we are looking
at 97% of the country's business community.

Well. At least that's the idea being put
about by a regime of serial-lying Tories fagging

finally receive half of £2.9bn, they will
consider themselves lucky.
