Seeing a very healthy market here too. Less in terms of what's being advertised but direct calls are pretty decent. Survived another 'impending death of contracting', must be my 6th or 7th by now. Hello to everyone that closed their Limiteds on April 5th!

UK should do the same thing ASAP!!
"Donald Trump has been the worst president this country has ever had. And I don't say that hyperbolically. He is. But he is a consequential president. And he has brought this country in three short years to a place of weakness that is simply unimaginable if you were pondering where we are today from the day where Barack Obama left office. And there were a lot of us on that day who were deeply skeptical and very worried about what a Trump presidency would be. But this is a moment of unparalleled national humiliation, of weakness.
"When you listen to the President, these are the musings of an imbecile. An idiot. And I don't use those words to name call. I use them because they are the precise words of the English language to describe his behavior. His comportment. His actions. We've never seen a level of incompetence, a level of ineptitude so staggering on a daily basis by anybody in the history of the country whose ever been charged with substantial responsibilities.
"It's just astonishing that this man is president of the United States. The man, the con man, from New York City. Many bankruptcies, failed businesses, a reality show, that branded him as something that he never was.
A successful businessman. Well, he's the President of the United States now, and the man who said he would make the country great again. And he's brought death, suffering, and economic collapse on truly an epic scale. And let's be clear. This isn't happening in every country around the world. This place. Our place. Our home. Our country. The United States. We are the epicenter. We are the place where you're the most likely to die from this disease. We're the ones with the most shattered economy. And we are because of the fool that sits in the Oval Office behind the Resolute Desk."

Originally posted by Shackattack View PostI think this absolutely describes Trump to the letter, it was by Steve Schmidt who ran John Mcains campaign. Brilliantly sums up Trump and scarely our very own Bojo the clown. We to where a country which was flourishing and in ten years we have become a laughing stock of the world. Covid has merely bought this into a sharper focus. Anyway read on...

Why should UK based companies be allowed to get the benefits of employing non UK IT resource locally AND all the other benefits of being UK based if they are not going to support the UK economy by hiring British IT workers?!
As for fruit picking like so many I would not want to be forced to pay the £100 or so a week the Farmers want for accommodation to pick THEIR produce!
The TRUE reason they do not wish to hire British born workers!Comment
