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,

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/uk-corporate-tax-avoidance-havens-justice-network-dodging-a8933661.html
Common knowledge and the subject of regular
reporting in the global, independent, non-propaganda-aligned
media, for decades. 'Groundbreaking' research
for the mainstream, fake-news media, though,
who are themselves corporate tax dodgers and
who can't keep the lid on yet another can of

Report recommends blueprint to support small
businesses. https://www.cps.org.uk/research/think-small-a-blueprint-for-supporting-uk-small-businesses/
The Centre for Policy Studies has published
a report that examines ways to make running
and growing a business easier. The 'Think Small'
report revealed that 75% of small business owners
think the current tax regime is too complicated
and 62% think the Government doesn't support
them. The Centre recommends that businesses
with a revenue of under £1 million should
have the option to replace corporation tax,
business rates, VAT and National Insurance with
a single levy based on turnover. The report
also calls for tax relief for sole traders who
complete self-funded training.

Choco
Leibniz biscuit heiress apologises over Nazi
forced labour remarks. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/choco-leibniz-biscuit-heiress-nazi-forced-labour-verena-bahlsen-a8916206.html
All we need now are some apologies (and reparation)
from the original Holocaust deniers, Britain
and America, who not only helped perpetuate
the Nazi regime and its crimes but concluded
the war with numerous crimes of their own, including
the fire-bombing of German cities which no longer
held any strategic value and the 'collateral'
death of millions of slave workers with nowhere
to escape to. Curious - or perhaps not - how
the west's Semitic fake news media never seems
to mention this? Perhaps their support for the
American Tory regime and its gig economy - which
also tries to avoid paying for its labour -
is too much of a vested interest?

Thank, you Donny The Trump. So we can't effectively

That's 'taxpayer' to fund political and local

accurate. It will also be interesting to see
who ends up at the end of the money trail on

Now all they need to do is start taxing the
dogs. The American/Israeli-owned kennels at
Westminster would be a good place to start.

A few, notable, albeit totally unsurprising
omissions. Whereas Saudi Arabia receives a dishonourable
rejection, its partners in war-crimes, anti-democracy
and the abuse of human rights, the USA, Israel,
France and the UK, don't. TfL (Transport for
London? Hacks becoming as lazy as the French
in abbreviating everything these days) tacitly
acknowledging just who owns London - and Little
Ingerlandt - these days.
The
silence on Christian persecution is because
of trade, not political correctness. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/03/jeremy-hunt-christian-persecution-political-correctness
Hardly just silence on Christian persecution!
When is the last time there was any reporting
or interviews with Palestinians? Afghans? Iraqis?
Libyans? Syrians? Yemenis? Somalis? The list
goes on. A silence which has nothing whatsoever
to do with the largely Semitic western media,
of course. At all. At all. And do we really
mean 'trade'? Or taxpayer and small-business-subsidised
fraud, theft and larceny making a killing?

HMRC

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-48150575
HMRC have long been plumbing the same depths

Future

There should be plenty of construction jobs
coming up in Paris shortly, as informed observers
reckon that the Notre Dame re-construction project
will be a snow-job for the re-developement of
central Paris itself, timed to coincide with
the 2024 Olympic Games. https://www.voltairenet.org/article206340.html

As usual. It's holiday extension-time for
worthless fonctionnaires!
Climate
change protests cost police extra £7m,
says Met boss. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2019/05/02/climate-change-protests-cost-police-extra-a-7m-says-met-boss/
Or, less than half the cost of providing
security for American terrorist and war criminal
and major contributor to climate change, Donald
The Trump, when he last came to visit his colony,
Little Ingerlandt, for just a couple of days.
Money which could far better be spent on all
manner of worthwhile causes, not least of all,
a goodly reserve of make-up for the large numbers
of officers expending taxpayer-funded police
time on their numerous tv series.
Shrimp
in British rivers ‘all test positive for
cocaine’, research finds. https://www.aol.co.uk/news/2019/05/02/shrimp-in-british-rivers-all-test-positive-for-cocaine-resear/
Typical story from the fake news media. Firstly,
what 'shrimp in British rivers'? And secondly,
the test sample was a few London rivers and
not all 'British' rivers. Otherwise, the levels
of human effluent in most British rivers should
be cause for far greater concern. Not exactly
a turn-on for holidaymakers and the tourist
industry.
Mind

There
are 17 million mobile EU citizens. We deserve
a political voice. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/may/01/17-million-mobile-eu-citizens-european-elections
And because there are as many as 17 million
uncontrolled potential votes out there, that
is precisely why they won't be getting a political
voice. Otherwise, it would be called 'democratic'
- which the EU certainly isn't.
Free
cash machines vanishing at alarming rate, says
Which? https://www.bbc.com/news/business-48107372
So is cash.
OfCom

performance as figures show one in six customers
unhappy. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/comment/ofcom-broadband-talktalk-compensation-broadband-speeds-customer-satisfaction-figures-contracts-a8892771.html
Given the crooks who have been running the
telecomms industry, a baseball bat, waterboarding
and a long stay in a house with many windows
would be more appropriate. Starting with Ofcon.
'New-build
homes not fire safe', BBC investigation finds.
https://www.bbc.com/news/business-48113301
Another 'cutting edge' investigation from

reporting the Grenfell council arson attack,
next.
Employers

workers. https://www.fmb.org.uk/about-the-fmb/newsroom/employers-and-workers-agree-2-75-pay-rise-for-construction-workers/
A 2.75% pay rise for construction workers has
been agreed following successful pay negotiations
between the Federation of Master Builders (FMB)
and Unite the union.
UK
government cancels Brexit ferry deals at cost
of £50 million. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-48117366
Any arrests imminent, having brought hundreds
of thousands of businesses and travellers grinding
to a halt to undergo futile, official seaport
chaos exercises? Bearing in mind that 1100 peaceful,
climate change protesters were arrested recently
for virtually no disturbance at all.
EU
governments cannot regulate Airbnb without asking
Brussels, says ECJ. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/airbnb-eu-regulation-member-states-france-spain-european-court-justice-a8892801.html
Maybe they can't - officially - but each
country's taxman can make a serious impact if
needs be.
New
cybersecurity tool for small businesses.
https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/information/exercise-in-a-box
The National Cyber Security Centre has launched
a free online tool to help small businesses
assess how resilient they are to cyberattacks.
The 'Exercise in a Box' tool provides exercises
based on the main cyber-threats and enables
users to assess how they would respond to an
attack.
Supermarkets with no tills: will they be
the death knell for 200,000 cashier jobs?
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/sainsburys-self-service-supermarket-retail-jobs-automation-impact-a8893491.html
That's the whole idea. Aided and abetted
in this day and Age of Stupid, by customers
peering at their dummyphones, believing what
they read in The Scum or The Daily Wail and
then putting the blame on immigration.

Just like the mainstream fake news media,
