Scroll down for: A Home and Small Business Viewpoint by Len Tondel, from 1st August 2021

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

30.08.2021: UK food industry begs government to introduce new visa for workers as labour shortages mount. https://news.sky.com/story/uk-food-industry-begs-government-to-introduce-new-visa-for-workers-as-labour-shortages-mount-12392394 The Tory regime's idea is that the UK should eat American chicken-shit instead.

Hire UK workers to drive lorries, minister tells firms. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-58364308 Firms would if they could. But there just aren't enough UK HGV drivers to fill the shortages and finding 100,000 willing candidates to train successfully isn't going to happen overnight. Nor are firms likely to buy 100,000 lorries for them to drive. In other words, just another propaganda soundbite from a Tory minister for the Brexit disinformation gutter media.

Boris Johnson says Brits shouldn’t rely on handouts. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/boris-johnson-says-brits-shouldn-094400051.html So he'll be putting an end to the taxpayer-subsidised, tax-dodging fake news gutter media then? Or bent Tory MPs and ex-Prime Ministers trousering £ millions from the private sector, donors and lobbyists for services rendered? In fact, without 'handouts', the Tory party would cease to exist overnight. Nor indeed, would most of their commercial supporters.

Government urged to make tackling ‘insane’ shipping prices top priority. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/government-urged-tackling-insane-shipping-145324594.html

Sadiq Khan tells organisers of London murderers, terrorists and war criminals' fair to cancel event and not come back. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/sadiq-khan-tells-organisers-london-131617221.html I'd have thought the fair was an ideal opportunity to round up thousands of the scum, confiscate their homes and their possessions, sentence them to hard labour for life, kill their families and friends and bomb their neighbourhoods. (Although that would be 'anti-Semitic' of course.) And then, is Mr Khan going to invite along the country's 99% of the business community which never gets a chance to exhibit at fairs, to come along and fill all the empty spaces?

28.08.2021: Retail sales grow at sharpest pace in seven years. https://www.retailgazette.co.uk/blog/2021/08/retail-sales-grow-in-august-at-sharpest-pace-in-7-years/ New research from the CBI has found that retail sales rose in August 2021 at the sharpest pace in nearly seven years as consumer spending drove economic recovery. Overall, 60% of retailers reported higher sales in the year to August.

Worker shortages leave UK farms with 70,000 surplus pigs. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/27/worker-shortages-leave-uk-farms-with-70000-surplus-pigs Couldn't the pigs be given Tory party membership and then be offered jobs in politics, government, local authorities and the gutter media?

Supplies of pigs in blankets could be hit by post-Brexit labour shortages. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/supplies-pigs-blankets-could-hit-130325126.html Couldn't we use Westminster 'pigs' in the meantime?

UK firms perform better under foreign ownership – business minister. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/uk-firms-perform-better-under-114515889.html That's just as well with the Tories selling off the entire country together with their toothless grandmothers. It's what serial-lying Brexit traitors refer to as preserving British 'sovereignty'.

World Bank stops financial support to Afghanistan amid worries about fate of women under the Taliban. https://www.independent.co.uk/asia/south-asia/world-bank-aid-taliban-afghanistan-b1908373.html The World Bank couldn't give a solitary fart about the 'fate of women'. With the Taliban directly financed by the USA/CIA and the World Bank's usual client base of tens of thousands of western illegal migrants moving on, the money trail will simply follow them to their next thieving destination and any excuse for jumping ship will do.

25.08.2021: House sales slump 62% after stamp duty deadline. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/house-sales-slump-62-stamp-100506733.html Could this be a turning point for the UK housing market Ponzi scheme?

British manufacturers face worst stock shortage on record – CBI. https://www.themanufacturer.com/articles/british-manufacturers-face-worst-stock-shortage-on-record-cbi/ Going well, this Brexit scam, isn't it?

24.08.2021: Former England cricket captain Lord Botham appointed trade envoy to Australia. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/former-england-cricket-captain-lord-092547209.html And nothing to do with the fact that Botham is a high-profile supporter of the Tory regime and the supposed Brexit trade deal with Australia has been a complete and utter non-event..

Ethiopia starts building local rival to Facebook. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/23/ethiopia-starts-building-local-rival-to-facebook That should be enough to prompt another lucrative 'freedom' invasion by American/NATO terrorists, murderers, thieves and illegal migrants.

23.08.2021: 'We are calling on the UK Government, as well as EU officials, to urgently examine the issues currently plaguing exporters', say British Chambers Of Commerce. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/comment/article-9914459/UK-Government-fix-exports-issues-says-Commerce-boss.html Not a call which has received widespread attention in the Tory regime's gutter propaganda largely, one supposes, because the 'exports' in question don't include money laundering and tax evasion services and 'weapons of mass destruction' for the murder of millions of defenceless Palestinian, Afghan, Iraqi, Libyan, Syrian, Yemeni and assorted 'black' civilians.

This is significantly higher than estimates made by the Office for Budget Responsibility. Of the businesses who received a loan, 64% have started making repayments, with 44% using their own revenue and 21% using a loan from another source.

08.08.2021: Fake Home Office website targeting asylum seekers (refugees) probed by Information Commissioner. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/english-channel-crossings-home-office-ico-b1898334.html Just the latest in an ever-longer line of 'official' fake websites.

Wine merchant speaks out about Brexit, saying ‘teething problems have become permanent fixtures’. https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/business-economics/wine-merchant-speaks-out-about-brexit-saying-teething-problems-have-become-permanent-fixtures-285060/ As intended, of course. The only Brexit voters who still continue to believe otherwise also write to Father Christmas every year.

Spending on Union Jack flags flies high under Boris Johnson leadership in bid to boost national symbol. https://www.scotsman.com/news/people/spending-on-union-jack-flags-flies-high-under-boris-johnson-leadership-in-bid-to-boost-national-symbol-3337867 Hitler, Stalin, etc - all did the same thing. It's called 'propaganda'.

Government holding talks in step towards UK ban on foie gras. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/foie-gras-ban-uk-import-b1898352.html It's almost as bad as some of the production under the UK's Red Tractor scheme.

UK agrees to consider providing safe haven for Afghan journalists. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2021/aug/06/uk-agrees-consider-providing-safe-haven-afghan-journalists Britain's history of cowardice, treachery and betrayal is legendary as most continents will testify, so the outcome of any 'consideration' for Afghan journalists - just as for tens of thousands of 'interpreters' - is unlikely to prove fruitful. Which is why the semitic fake news gutter media and Big Corp conspired to return 'Judas' Johnson and his regime of fags to power, so that human and moral values could be ignored in the pursuit of 'business' as usual.

Energy price hike: Seven ways to cut your costs and get support with bills. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/energy-price-hike-seven-ways-105313905.html The purpose of a Tory-inspired price hike isn't to provide 'support with bills'.

UK backed plan to charge non-EU travellers to enter Europe. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/05/uk-backed-plan-charge-non-eu-travellers-enter-europe Another bit of very late news finally shoe-horning its way into the state media and propaganda.

Spike in demand for foreign trips after travel restrictions eased. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/spike-demand-foreign-trips-travel-154722126.html That will be all those Brexit-voting 'patriots' off to 'staycation' in France again. Like media gobshite Pee'ers Moron, for example.

Gaza conflict led to record rise in UK antisemitic attacks, charity says. https://www.theguardian.com/news/2021/aug/05/gaza-conflict-led-to-record-rise-in-uk-antisemitic-attacks-charity-says Not that the predominantly 'semitic'-owned western gutter media should escape a dishonourable mention - cramming their pages with endless 'semitic' propaganda, lies, cover-ups, disinformation, historical distortion and fake conspiracies which have actually been driving anti-semitic feelings since the end of the Second World War across dozens of countries and not just as a single fall-out to the cowardly, murderous occupation and theft of Palestinian lands by terrorist fanatics and their supporters - like Bent Boris and the Tory regime. (And Blairites before that, of course.)

Environmental impact of bottled water ‘up to 3,500 times greater than tap water’. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/aug/05/environmental-impact-of-bottled-water-up-to-3500-times-greater-than-tap-water Until you take into account all the waste and sewage pumped into 'tap water' by the water companies.

Cargo bikes deliver faster and cleaner than vans, study finds. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/05/cargo-bikes-deliver-faster-and-cleaner-than-vans-study-finds That's why they had 'trades bikes' as long as a century ago before any modern 'surveys' came along to enlighten the modern-day, dumbed-down public.

05.08.2021: British holidaymakers will have to pay €7 to enter Europe under EU plans. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/british-holidaymakers-pay-7-enter-205917335.html Yet another Brexit Knobhead 'success' story?

Propaganda release: Ethical hackers collaborate with Defence to strengthen cyber security. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/ethical-hackers-collaborate-with-defence-to-strengthen-cyber-security Perhaps the Ministry of Death (MoD) could simply stop endlessly spending British taxpayers' money on flawed American terrorist shitware, instead. Mind you, is there any part of the British murder industry which isn't owned by the Americans by now? Thanks to fagging Tory and Brexiteer traitors like Nigel Garbage - who even has his own TV slot these days.

01.08.2021: UK ‘closing in on agreement’ with New Zealand in trade talks – Truss. https://www.aol.co.uk/money/uk-closing-agreement-zealand-trade-150526130.html These particular talks have been touted in the fake news and disinformation gutter media as a pending Brexit success story for the past year. Obviously New Zealand has now negotiated itself into a favourable position, Truss has been 'stitched up' and the deal can be signed.

Climate crisis: Campaigners call for national flash flood alert system as extreme rain ‘puts millions at risk’. https://www.independent.co.uk/climate-change/news/flash-flooding-alert-system-climate-crisis-b1894358.html 'Extreme rain' has been predicted for decades.

Lab-grown dairy is the future of milk, researchers say. https://www.theguardian.com/food/2021/jul/31/lab-grown-dairy-is-the-future-of-milk-researchers-say That should result in a dramatic reduction in river pollution at least. Especially in France.

UK waste firm fined £1.5m for exporting household waste. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/jul/30/uk-waste-firm-fined-15m-for-exporting-household-waste Almost another Brexit exporting success story, then.

US anti-doping chief dismisses Russian Olympic ban as a ‘farce’. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/jul/31/us-anti-doping-chief-dismisses-russian-olympic-ban-as-a-farce Makes you wonder how (ahem!) 'clean' American athletes manage to win against doped up competition, in that case? Especially during all those years where American dominance in the swimming and track disciplines was universally regarded as the Olympic dopefests of all dopefests.
