Scroll down for: A Home and Small Business Viewpoint by Len Tondel, from 24th April 2025

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

Suppress the truth. Suppress freedom. Suppress democracy. Suppress resistance. It also confirms that those bringing 'disciplinary action' are members of a terrorist organisation.

Where parasitic French farmers, the ruin of the EU's economy, receive a cut of the profits.

The extraordinary rise of bakery tourism: ‘People travel from all over the world. It’s mind-blowing!’ https://www.theguardian.com/food/2025/apr/22/the-extraordinary-rise-of-bakery-tourism The gutter media suddenly cottoning onto something which has been on the 'rise' for decades. I suppose being spoon-fed zionist Nazi propaganda all the time will do that to you.

British tour operator launches holidays to dangerous country - despite FCDO warnings against travel. https://www.msn.com/en-xl/news/other/british-tour-operator-launches-holidays-to-dangerous-country-despite-fcdo-warnings-against-travel/ar-AA1D1hD7 Can't see what the problem is. This country has long since been 'liberated' (by the Coalition of Evil). There aren't 'thousands' of Hamas/Hezbollah/Iranian rockets 'raining down' daily (like on the Genocide State of Nazi Izrael). The streets aren't swarming with trigger-happy psycopathic pigs in uniforms (like the Terrorist States of Amerikka). Or even with mindless Faragista/Blobbinson thugs (like Naziland Brexitland.) It's of no interest to Vlad The Bad and the Ruskies. And there's not even zionst hate-preaching gutter rags like The Terrorgraph, The Daily Fail, The Nixpress or The Scum. So - the FCDO (who they?) must be just another zionist propaganda bot having a larf.

If the stone-throwing Nazi thugs and arsonists had been members of a pro-peace or environment movement, they would have been arrested, charged and given lengthy prison sentences. As it was, almost all of this social scum walked free simply because of the manufactured outrage in the zionist gutter media by one or two of its more prominent hate-preachers. Who, if they were Muslim, would also have found themselves in court. Or, if British customers refuse to buy goods from the Genocide State of Nazi Izrael, preferring to Back Britain, instead, they are breaking the law. On the other hand, visiting Nazi war criminals and murderers are provided with police protection.
