Scroll down for: A Home and Small Business Viewpoint by Len Tondel, from 18th May 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

18.05.2025: Microshit admits it provided AI to Izraeli terrorists, war criminals and murderers for genocide in Gaza. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/israel-microsoft-ai-gaza-b2752850.html A dtriving force behind all Amerikkan-related terrorism and war crimes. Just as Amerikkan Big Corp were behind Hitler, the Nazis and the holocausts (there was more than one) during World War II. Until they had no choice but to reluctantly back out. And pursue new holocausts elsewhere around the world since World War II.

‘It feels like we never left’: resentment builds in one of UK’s firmest Brexit-backing areas. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2025/may/17/essex-thurrock-grays-views-brexit-eu-referendum Sounds like they should get out more.

15.05.2025: Post-Brexit reduction in SME lending in rural areas. https://www.bangor.ac.uk/news/2025-05-08-study-reveals-severe-post-brexit-reduction-in-lending-to-smes-in-rural-areas A study by Bangor University and the University of Liverpool has revealed a significant post-Brexit reduction in lending to SMEs in rural and peripheral areas. The study also found that Brexit has intensified regional inequality in the UK and put vulnerable rural areas at a disadvantage. The five worst-hit local authorities in the UK are Derbyshire Dales, Hambleton, Mid Suffolk, Stratford-on-Avon, and Dumfries and Galloway.

Barriers faced by disabled entrepreneurs revealed. https://lilacreview.com/press Disabled entrepreneurs are being held back by widespread financial, operational and accessibility barriers. This is according to the final report of The Lilac Review, which highlights the disadvantages faced by UK business owners who have a disability or long-term health condition. The report revealed that nearly half of disabled business owners indicated that access to finance was a major barrier, while one in three believed that existing business support schemes lacked adequate accommodations.

Dairy companies ‘turning blind eye’ to global methane emissions, report suggests. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/may/13/dairy-companies-methane-emissions-climate-report As is - far more importantly - the EU, which continues to lavish vast sums of money on subsidising increasingly large scale, industrialised farming and even industrial methane-producing units to compound the problem still further.

12.05.2025: UK care homes to be banned from overseas recruitment in bid to slash migration to ‘significantly’ below 500,000. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/immigration-uk-migration-care-homes-labour-yvette-cooper-b2748706.html Or, of course, Fagland Naziland Brexitland could simply stop being accomplices in the murder, genocide, ethnic cleansing, war crimes, crimes against humanity and crimes against peace by Amerikkan/Izraeli terrorism which accounts for the displacement of millions of refugees and economic migrants each and every year. Still. It's all about appealing for more support from the country's Nazi thickos. The endorsement of zionist gutter propaganda proving to be inadequate so far.

Warning Trump’s anti-censorship drive is fuelling misinformation crisis in UK. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/trump-misinformation-uk-labour-full-fact-ofcom-b2747207.html Bullshit. He won't be helping it but every country around the world has had a 'misinformation crisis' ever since newspapers took over from travelling bards. And especially 'Great Britain' - the greatest invaders, occupiers, war-mongers and thieves in the history of mankind, sanitised by the gutter media to this very day.

Trump The Dump claims a ‘total reset’ has been reached with China during high-stakes trade talks. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-trade-tariffs-china-b2748619.html He's obviously found out the Chinese aren't quite the same soft touch as unarmed Palestinian children bombed in hospitals, schools and refugee camps.

The 'failure' by the Home Office to record this movement is a long-standing cross-party political decision and not the choice of the Home Office itself.

France and Poland ‘open a new page’ in relations after signing new defence treaty. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/france-and-poland-open-a-new-page-in-relations-after-signing-new-defence-treaty-europe-live/ar-AA1ErYVM?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=1fd906721e6246be833bd64e3a8955a7&ei=43 After the last 'defence treaty' these two countries signed - Polaks with memories won't be holding their breath.

Migrants will have to learn English 'to A-Level standard' to get work visa under new UK immigration reforms. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/migrants-learn-english-level-standard-092417726.html Does this mean that 90% of Fagland Naziland Brexitland's population - its indigenous thickos - are now going to be stuffed into rubber dinghies and shoved off towards France?

‘Gaza will be entirely destroyed,’ 'far-right' Izraeli Nazi war criminal minister tells conference. https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/may/06/israel-gaza-war-latest-live-news-benjamin-netanyahu-hamas-palestine And so after 75 years, the end-game has finally come to pass. Holocaust, genocide, ethnic cleansing, extermination, crimes against peace, crimes against humanity, war crimes and mass murder. With the support of the Terrorist States of Amerikka, the Terrorist European Union and Fagland Naziland Brexitland. Their politicians and their propaganda. Financed and 'condoned' by the muzzled taxpayer as the emboldened Coalition of Evil makes ever-increasing incursions into the Middle East, Russia, Africa and next, China.

72 former Eurovision contestants call for Genocide State of Nazi Izrael and broadcaster KAN to be banned from contest. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/eurovision-2025-israel-open-letter-b2745466.html However appropriate the call is, Eurovision has never been anything more than a NATO propaganda tool so hypocrisy, double standards and revulsion will remain the 'competition's' order of the day. Anyway, permanently boycotting all things Izraeli and Amerikkan/their supporting Nazi states would be far more effective.

On the other hand, 'modern' and usually very expensive hotels - especially in Germany, AGAIN - are often cashless, so make sure you book your places to stay with some prudence.

Glut of early fruit and veg hits UK as climate change closes ‘hungry gap’. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/may/02/glut-of-early-fruit-and-veg-hits-uk-as-climate-change-closes-hungry-gap 'Hungry gaps' in the UK are caused by pricing - not availability.
