a) Politicians need to be popular to get voted in
b) Politicians get voted in
c) Reports come out... less people are having kids to pay future tax, people living longer, more people need benifits of every kind, need more social...

This body uses small one man band companies for things like.. heating services, plumbing repairs, servicing lifts, gardening and the like. The type of "Bobs Plumbing...

The details are that one of my PS clients is looking to offer me some work through GCloud... but no point in going down this route if it does not work.
In terms of the 'have you done this before' the answer will be a yes. Oh, and the client is offering to help set me up as a company in...
I work with 4 other contractors (well, one (a useless one) has just left), and I have found out that whilst we do the same job, I am the lowest paid of the bunch.
Now it could be that I did not negotiate when I started... but I view it this way...
