Scroll down for: A Home and Small Business Viewpoint by Len Tondel, from 1st September 2021

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

Greece to buy French warships as part of new defence pact. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/greece-buy-french-warships-part-093600244.html Seems like only yesterday that gutter media 'experts' were holding up Greece as a prime example of economic mismanagement, corruption and an EU country on the verge of bankruptcy. Now all of a sudden, Greece can afford to buy three French-built warships. (Not cheap.) How's that happened then?

Report lists 670 European firms with links to Israel thieves' and terrorists' settlements. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/report-lists-670-european-firms-093525414.html They will be receiving invitations to join the Starmer 'new' Labour Party in the very near future.

28.09.2021: PM ‘considering sending in Army’ to drive fuel trucks as pumps run dry. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/pm-considering-sending-army-drive-232522052.html Highly unlikely.

EU Lorry Drivers Say They Won't Help UK: 'It’s ‘S**t They Created Themselves’. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/eu-lorry-drivers-wont-help-094516137.html Sounds like a fair assessment.

Electrician warns panic-buyers could cost self-employed their income. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/panic-buying-idiots-lost-income-112322844.html These will be the same 'panic buyers' who also voted for Brexit, of course. Too stupid to think of the consequences.

Educate consumers about their effect on supply chains, expert says. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/educate-consumers-effect-supply-chains-014503744.html Consumers have been systematically and deliberately dumbed down for decades and now all of a sudden, they are supposed to get 'educated'?!

Labour conference: Wrong to say that only women have a cervix, says Keir Starmer. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/keir-starmer-trans-rights-duffield-b1927169.html Absolutely. Everyone knows that male Tory MPs are cnuts as well.

Labour conference: Angela Rayner defends calling PM and senior Tories ‘scum’. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/angela-rayner-labour-conference-tories-b1927146.html A very fair observation bearing in mind that a scummy Tory 'cervix' has called for a truthful Labour MP to be bombed.

Labour leader Starmer distances himself from Rayner’s attack on Tory ‘scum’. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/starmer-distances-himself-rayner-attack-094938573.html There will be some empathy there as the errr, 'opposition' leader surrounds himself with old Labour Party/Blairite war criminal scum.

26.09.2021: ‘You can’t turn baggage handlers into butchers overnight’, CBI chief warns. https://www.aol.co.uk/t-turn-baggage-handlers-butchers-091357695.html Not unless they are ex-public-school wankers, liars and thieves with psycopathic tendencies who normally enter politics, that is.

‘The kingdom of empty shelves’: European newspapers blame Brexit for UK supply chain crisis. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/european-newspapers-uk-fuel-crisis-b1926226.html It's not just 'European newspapers' but anyone and everyone who isn't part of the serial-lying, Brexit disinformation and treason campaign. Or a moron.

Inquiry into UK Export Finance. https://committees.parliament.uk/committee/367/international-trade-committee/news/157570/uk-export-finance-a-moment-for-change/ An inquiry into the work of UK Export Finance (UKEF) has found that it has a positive track record in providing products that support exporters and initiatives to help small and medium-sized businesses. However, the inquiry found that information available about UKEF's support for smaller firms is unclear and insufficient. There is also a disparity between the export finance needed and what UKEF provides. Still more Tory/Brexit morons who aren't working.

New measures to support trade within the UK. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/complying-with-the-uk-internal-market-act-2020 The Government has published guidance to help businesses, authorities and the public understand the day-to-day functioning of the UK's internal market system. The internal market system will ensure that there are no harmful barriers to trade across the UK. Businesses can share their experiences of the UK internal market with the Office for the Internal Market, which will publish the first State of the UK Internal Market report in Spring 2022. The 'measures' have been announced since the serial-lying Tory Brexit campaign has failed to produce any more than just one/1 new post-Brexit trade deal from the '100' it had promised.

Digital trade strategy announced. https://www.computerweekly.com/news/252506904/UK-government-announces-digital-trade-strategy The Government has announced a five-point digital strategy aimed at improving international digital trade for businesses and future-proofing the sector. The plan will help businesses to reach a wider consumer base by selling online and boosting efficiency by trading remotely.

The only thing we are still waiting for are gulags for anyone who voted Brexit.

25.09.2021: Wrong to say Brexit to blame for lorry driver shortage, says Transport Secretary. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/wrong-brexit-blame-lorry-driver-092201739.html “Not only are there very large and even larger shortages in other EU countries like Poland and Germany, which clearly can’t be to do with Brexit . . ." stated Mr Shatts. Funny that. I've just come back from a week's trip to Poland and Germany and haven't noticed anything abnormal, 'very large or even larger shortages' either on the roads, in the shops, in conversations or on the telly. Perhaps Mr Shatts is getting his information from a 'fake guru' website - again? For distribution by the disinformation and fake news Brexit gutter media.

‘Carry on as normal,’ Shatts urges drivers amid forecourt closures. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/carry-normal-shapps-urges-drivers-080120675.html 'Don't panic! Don't panic!' says Corporal Shatts.

Half of Brits aren’t making an active effort to cut down on their food waste, Asda survey finds. https://www.retailtimes.co.uk/half-of-brits-arent-making-an-active-effort-to-cut-down-on-their-food-waste-asda-survey-finds/ This will be the 'half' that supposedly voted for Brexit and are congenital 'wasters' anyway.

US lifting ban on imports of British lamb, says Boris Johnson. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-58654045 Do the Americans really eat lamb? Chicken-shit is their preferred protein. And there are more than enough customers for world-class British lamb just across the Channel, anyway.

Travel rule change delayed by lateral flow test shortage. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-58656292 'Lateral flow test shortage'? That's a complicated way of saying 'morons'.

22.09.2021: Johnson declines to commit to getting US trade deal before next election. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/johnson-optimistic-over-us-trade-135450248.html That's because Bent Boris is a fagging puppet who will only get a 'trade deal' when the Americans discard one his way.

Of course the EU are partly to blame. They would always have been 'partly to blame.' And that should have been factored into the debate from the very outset. Instead of column-miles of lying shite from Brexit traitors.

Three quarters of small businesses in retail sector suffer from stress, anxiety or depression caused by late payments, Juno finds. https://www.retailtimes.co.uk/three-quarters-of-small-businesses-in-retail-sector-suffer-from-stress-anxiety-or-depression-caused-by-late-payments-juno-finds/ Good job they're not self-employed, then. Or the figure would be nearer 100%.

Fresh calls for windfall tax on companies that prospered during Covid. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/sep/20/fresh-calls-for-windfall-tax-on-companies-that-prospered-during-covid And a windfall tax on Brexit, of course. That should thin out the bent, serial-lying, parasitic, criminal Tory regime and its donors.

What Liz Truss doesn't seem to be capable of announcing is the magic 'hundred' countries which would fall over themselves to step into the vacuum created by the Brexit scam. In fact the only 'non-defensive trade attitude' Liz Truss herself appears capable of is inviting thousands of murderers, terrorists and war criminals to British arms fairs to buy 'weapons of mass destruction' from once-British companies she and her whoring regime have sold to overseas (American) private equity firms.

Britain to delay some post-Brexit border controls due to Covid. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/sep/14/britain-delay-some-post-brexit-border-controls-brexit-covid Due to 'covid', eh? Not that 'covid' is affecting non-Brexit border controls to the same extent.

Tech firms not doing enough to fight terrorism, says Met police chief. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/sep/13/tech-firms-not-doing-enough-to-fight-terrorism-says-met-police-chief It could also be argued that if the police and 'intelligence' agencies concentrated on their jobs of looking after the nation's security instead of issuing propaganda releases, grooming their images with reality shite tv series, oppressing genuine public sentiment and protecting visiting terrorists, war criminals and mass murderers, tech firms could be encouraged to get with their own work of generating business, instead.

However, France has been Europe's leading polluter since the Second World War and politicians and farmers alike are merely in thrall to the banks, agricorp, chemco and major manufacturers who rely on them to remain so stupid they don't even pull down their trousers before shitting on their own doorsteps.

National Insurance rise to address UK funding crisis in care sector. https://www.pqmagazine.com/national-insurance-rise-to-address-uk-funding-crisis-in-care-sector/ Well.

From sanctions to starvation, bullets to biochemicals, the true figure for American and Coalition of Evil war crime deaths under the guise of TWAT (The War Against Terror) and associated pretexts since '9/11' runs to several million. In the business interests of a handful of fanatical supremacists and 'temple money-lenders'.

Strategy needed to help business take advantage of Freeports. https://www.icaew.com/insights/viewpoints-on-the-news/2021/sep-2021/Freeports-business-needs-greater-clarity Business leaders have urged the Government to provide more clarity on plans to set up Freeports to support global trade, job creation and regional regeneration across the UK. Freeports will benefit from a number of incentives, such as no customs duties for imported goods, streamlined customs procedures and tax relief. While Freeports are expected to begin operations later this year, the Government has not published guidance on how they will operate. As a result, businesses that are considering setting up operations in Freeport areas are struggling to put plans in place. The regime is hardly in a position to advise on freeports when a) it doesn't know anything about them and b) it is still waiting for the backlash from the European ports.

£450m fund to help businesses go green. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2021/aug/31/ofgem-launches-450m-fund-to-help-homes-and-businesses-go-green Ofgem has launched a £450 million fund aimed at innovative projects that will help the country meet its net-zero climate targets. The money will be available to energy network companies to ensure homes and businesses are going green. In other words, just 10% of the UK's budget over the past twenty years for jackbooting into Afghanistan. And then there's Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Palestine, the Yemen and so on and so on and so on.

UK going backwards on tackling media’s racism, warns new Voice editor. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/sep/02/uk-going-backwards-tackling-media-racism-warns-voice-editor-lester-holloway It's a moot point if the UK's media is going 'backwards'.

In this latest case it happens to be the compulsive drivel of a mediatised revenge stalker asking the gullible public to believe that as one of the ugliest, most repulsive people on the box with a history of illegal soiled knicker-sniffing, he was 'jilted' by one of the most attractive, desirable women in high society. Obviously, Ofcon fell for it.

Consumers to demand drinks cans should be ethically sourced, ex-minister says. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/consumers-demand-drinks-cans-ethically-102903540.html Given the total amount of unethical shit consumers are consuming these days, any public call for 'ethically sourced' drinks cans doesn't rate above rock-bottom on the probability scale.

Hire UK workers to drive lorries, minister tells firms. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58364308 Firms would if they could. But there just aren't enough UK HGV drivers to fill the shortages and finding 100,000 willing candidates to train successfully isn't going to happen overnight. Nor are firms likely to buy 100,000 lorries for them to drive. In other words, just another propaganda soundbite from a Tory minister for the Brexit disinformation gutter media.

Boris Johnson says Brits shouldn’t rely on handouts. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/boris-johnson-says-brits-shouldn-094400051.html So he'll be putting an end to the taxpayer-subsidised, tax-dodging fake news gutter media then? Or bent Tory MPs and ex-Prime Ministers trousering £ millions from the private sector, donors and lobbyists for services rendered?

(Although that would be 'anti-Semitic' of course.) And then, is Mr Khan going to invite along the country's 99% of the business community which never gets a chance to exhibit at fairs, to come along and fill all the empty spaces?

World Bank stops financial support to Afghanistan amid worries about fate of women under the Taliban. https://www.independent.co.uk/asia/south-asia/world-bank-aid-taliban-afghanistan-b1908373.html The World Bank couldn't give a solitary fart about the 'fate of women'. With the Taliban directly financed by the USA/CIA and the World Bank's usual client base of tens of thousands of western illegal migrants moving on, the money trail will simply follow them to their next thieving destination and any excuse for jumping ship will do.
