Scroll down for: A Home and Small Business Viewpoint by Len Tondel, from 1st May 2022

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


31.05.2022: Almost 500,000 UK small businesses ‘at risk of going bust within weeks’. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/almost-500-000-uk-small-businesses-at-risk-of-going-bust-within-weeks/ar-AAXSj1J?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=aff492b7c2f24e0b91cf2faee7d28da6 These are all obviously businesses which aren't linked to mass murder, terrorism, war crimes, thieving, tax evasion and lies or the Turdy regime would be throwing £ billions of taxpayers' money at them to keep their heads very profitably above water.

UK firms fed up with post-Brexit EU trade. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/news/same-nightmare-week-after-week-uk-firms-fed-up-with-post-brexit-eu-trade/ar-AAXRTKc?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=aff492b7c2f24e0b91cf2faee7d28da6 A foregone conclusion and as we were saying ten years ago in anticipation of a 'Brexit' possibility. So. Charge everyone responsible for Brexit with treason. Confiscate all their assets. Apply a Brexit tax/sanction to everyone who voted for Brexit because even more so than all Germans during World War 2, they surely must have known what was going on. And then, re-imburse everyone who has been adversely affected - although that will be a temporary measure only. Hopefully, Brexiteers will then pile into leaking dinghies to make their way to Spain via the Bay of Biscay. And their places can be taken by decent, intelligent, skilled, hard-working refugees.

Export hotline branded a waste of money. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2022/may/23/labour-attacks-obscene-waste-of-funds-on-little-used-export-helpline The export hotline set up by the Government took fewer than 3,000 calls in its first five months of operation. The call centre company running the hotline was promised £120,000 a month for running the service, on the expectation that the 24 staff involved would be handling 3,000 calls a week. Between October 2021 and February 2022 the hotline answered 2,899 calls, which means each call cost more than £200 to deal with.

Sounds like a lot less than the amount of subsidy paid out to Westminster bars and restaurants for wallowing Turdy politicians preaching to the country's poor on how to starve themselves for 30p a meal.

Plus the Turdies have also seen fit to take on the Ruskies. The Chinese. Half the Middle East. Half of Africa. And they have only just pulled out Afghanistan with their tails between their legs where they did oh, so well. Then again, the Turdy version of 'war' is bombing defenceless civilians; arming the world's terrorists and war criminals; sponsoring terrorism; fagging for American terrorists; war crimes; crimes against humanity and general thieving. All with the help of the British taxpayer, of course.

Panic as fish and chips could be 'more expensive than wagyu beef' as tariff on Russian fish planned. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/money/other/panic-as-fish-and-chips-could-be-more-expensive-than-wagyu-beef-as-tariff-on-russian-fish-planned/ar-AAXev3r?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=744f3f9130db4881994215d0049390b9 Ensuring the profits of American terrorists, psycopaths and murderers are achieved with the taxpayer-subsidised sales of arms to the puppet but bankrupt Ukrainian regime are much more important to the Turdies than preserving the nation's traditions of food it can afford to buy. And as for wagyu beef, that isn't going to be on the menu either. Nothing will replace American chicken-shit.

EU exporters benefit while UK firms struggle. https://theloadstar.com/eu-exporters-benefit-from-border-largesse-as-uk-smes-struggle/ Brexit is having a negative impact on small and medium-sized businesses in the UK, with many seeing their core European markets vanish overnight. Around 6.5% of British businesses closed between 2020 and 2021, only the second decline in 20 years. While the pandemic did have an impact, many smaller businesses blame increased bureaucracy and the cost of trading with the EU for the fall. However, EU exporters have benefited from the UK's lack of import controls.

Good news for his corporate, tax-dodging, offshore puppet-masters, though. Having a Turdy toadie who does as he is told.

They are obviously positioning themselves to receive knighthoods from the criminal Turdy regime, instead.

The APPG found that the rural economy is 18% less productive than the national average and that if this gap was reduced it could add £43 billion to the UK economy. Report recommendations include prioritising small-scale, incremental development in rural areas with a focus on affordable housing, developing and implementing measures to boost rural productivity, simplifying the tax system for diversified businesses through the Rural Business Unit and limiting the influence of major supermarkets.
