Why is the Right Promoting Idleness? Fri Dec 12, 2025 15:00 | Nick Rendell
Why has the Right joined the Left in promoting idleness? For the Left it's an obsession with UBI. But for the tech bros it's all about 'hyperabundance'. Either way, idleness is always soul-destroying, says Nick Rendell.

How to Fix Science Fri Dec 12, 2025 11:00 | Dr Randall Bock
The failures of scientific objectivity on Covid and climate have exposed a system of peer review that acts more like a gatekeeper to a priesthood than an arbiter of reliable facts. Dr Randall Bock proposes a solution.

I have had the misfortune of being a ''customer'' of Turas Nua - i wasnt happy with them either,they tried to push me onto zero hours jobs,constantly got me to fill out questionaires,i was forced onto a course for 3 and a half hours sitting,i thought i was going to get deep vein thrombosis from all the sitting...i dont have a lot of funds to be travelling either and they excessively call me into meetings at the drop of a hat,they havent even reminbursed me for any travel yet and its been over 6 weeks,i have since got a job off my own bat,but when i did get interviews before while i was on turas nua i was hassled for details like they didn't believe me,they rang my interviewer,and they hassled me when i finally got a job,honestly it was relief even to get them off my back...Walking into Turas Nua the first time - it looked like a call centre,they even had a WHITEBOARD with marker,marking down how many people they pushed into ''work'',zero hours it doesnt matter,if they push you on to 0 hours - they get commission for each client/customer they push onto zero hours even! Its a social welfare fiddle too,bc when i was with Turas Nua i still had to sign on in the post office - yet technically i was not an ''unemployed person'' as i was a ''customer'' of Turas Nua!So social welfare got me off their books! Nice set up!
How much will this end up costing the state? There is no difference between Turas Nua and the local jobs club or Intreo except you are treated better in the local job club. You have more options available to you at the job club.
Merger of state and private corporations = fascism
Most people are looking to work not to be exploited
