And now we have ‘freelance’ shop workers

News at 10… right wing, neoliberal, neoconservative think tank backs Israel's position

Whereas other independent sources disagree

[Andy2022]

Some retailers are now ‘hiring’ shop workers on a freelance basis… bonkers…

You are aware that just writing something into UK law doesn't make it legal aren't you?

For starters there are other conventions e.g. EHCR, and International Law that applies too

Creating a law that basically says it's illegal for people to come here but giving them no way...

Arriving by a small boat over the channel isn't illegal if someone is claiming asylum and they are successful in claiming it.

Given most of the people crossing successfully claim asylum then by definition they're not illegal immigrants but refugees

People come to Britain for...

[Andy2022]

If you don't want your comments to be criticised as hateful then don't rollout racist tropes implying refugee's from an active war zone are just here for the benefits...

[Andy2022]

So you keep saying but just because you keep saying it doesn't make it true

You started the thread with hateful comments about people who'd fled a war zone in a country that's been ruled by tyrants for the last 50 years, where imprisonment, rape, torture and death were common for people...

[Andy2022]

There was no ad hominem… it's was an accurate description of the general theme of the comments you make


And when challenged you come back telling people to grow up or stfu rather than engaging in an honest discussion...

[Andy2022]

On the contrary they had more to contribute than your usual hateful miss-informed bile

You probably already know this but asylum seekers get very little in benefits https://www.gov.uk/asylum-support/what-youll-get...

Not sure what your point is… different jobs get paid different amounts

Have you seen how much contractors earn compared to other people?...

Train drivers pay was hardly excessive — 5% backdated pay rise for 2022-23, a 4.75% rise for 23-24, and a 4.5% increase for 24-25.

Previous government was paying the train opcos millions of pounds for strike days and then you’ve got the costs of disruption to the wider economy

[Andy2022]

Try 20 years and you’d be accurate

Reform were started in 2018 https://find-and-update.company-info...history?page=2

And UKIP in 2004 https://find-and-update.company-info...istory?page=12

Farage and his grifters are hardly new to politics...

[Andy2022]

They’re not a year old party…...

No surprises there… a new government was always going to have to do unpopular things

And the media and other rabble rousers were always going to drum up noise about them

What really matters is where we are in 3 or so years time

SASS based pensions (https://www.pensionbee.com/uk/pensio...a-ssas-pension) are the closest thing I can think of to a multi-person SIPP

I only know about them because I worked for a provider of them a long time ago

[Andy2022]

Been using them for a while and from a credit card perspective Capital on Tap seem fine – sometimes get slightly higher card fees on transactions e.g. BA, as it's a commercial card

Of course the real test is what happens when something goes wrong and I need them to sort it out
...

[Andy2022]

Like MPs who were found guilty of kicking seven bells out of the girlfriends?...

[Andy2022]

Looks like Capital on Tap are launching a no-notice business savings account paying 4.26% AER
