    Detain.
    Deport.

    No doubt some on here will still try to argue that these are genuine legal businesses...

    Every ****ing thing they touch. <doh>


    Britain’s jobs market is in freefall, suffering its worst slump since lockdown as Rachel Reeves’ tax hikes take their toll. According to KPMG and the Recruitment and Employment Confederation, the number of jobseekers is surging at the fastest rate since December 2020 – driven by a collapse in vacancies and a wave of layoffs, thanks to Reeves’ ‘Jobs Tax’ and a sharp rise in the minimum wage. Permanent hires have now dropped for 30 consecutive months, marking two and a half years of decline. The report points the finger at Labour’s business-bashing measures, warning it’s “unlikely that we will see an improvement” if the government doesn’t reconsider. REC CEO Neil Carberry said:

    Maybe they could deport all the abjabs and give the jobs delivering Amazon parcels and Uber Eats to the recently unemployed.

    Funny how his 'forensic legal approach' doesn't apply to certain sectors. :emoticon-0126-nerd:

    Latest developments in Birmingham have the beleaguered Labour-run council getting let off the hook by central government. It’s not just the rape gang inquiries that are being quietly dropped…

    Back in April last year Michael Gove announced a statutory inquiry under the Local Government Act into the council’s financial mismanagement, including failing to roll out an IT system in a debacle that auditors said would set taxpayers back “at least £90 million in excess of the original budget.Labour thinks that’s not worth it anymore…

    LocalGov reports that “Angela Rayner has dropped government plans for a statutory inquiry that would have investigated Labour-run Birmingham City Council’s failed rollout of an IT system… a council insider confirmed this would no longer go ahead.Under the carpet it goes – along with the bins…

    It's a sure indication that they haven't integrated into British Society. It's that that needs addressing, not getting the majority to change from what made this the place that others are climbing in to.

    This study report is a Preprint. That's important because it has not been reviewed by others which mean it could be refuted or have a lot of false findings. Readers need to know the significance of this.
