WorldbyStorm - 11:12 Thu Jun 20, 2019 In a piece by Ash Sarkar in the Guardian with a lot of sound points this is but one? The Independent Group for Change tried, and failed, to dominate media-tised politics by doing a passable impressions of politicians they had seen elsewhere.A
WorldbyStorm - 09:38 Thu Jun 20, 2019 This has to constitute a blow for SF, doesn?t it? The news that Toireasa Ferris is not standing as a candidate in Kerry. Any thoughts on the implications?A
WorldbyStorm - 08:13 Thu Jun 20, 2019 Is this true? Pat Leahy writing in the IT this last weekend about Boris Johnson and saying: Put another way, do we stick with the backstop no matter what the cost? The choice then was Yes, we take that risk, we hold our nerve, because the UK will not crash out. It proved right: in […]A
WorldbyStorm - 07:42 Thu Jun 20, 2019 In a way this is a devastating rebuff and response to the likes of Bew (detailed here yesterday) who have sought to minimise or wave away the scale of disruption that Brexit represents to the status quo on this island, a European Commission document that outlines in detail the areas of north-south cooperation that will […]A
WorldbyStorm - 19:35 Wed Jun 19, 2019 Rory Stewart has been ousted from the Conservative leadership contest after losing 10 votes from Conservative MPs since the last round of voting and being leapfrogged by Sajid Javid who clung on to stay in the race.The frontrunner, Boris Johnson, substantially increased his tally to 143 votes, almost three times the number of his closest […]A
WorldbyStorm - 12:11 Wed Jun 19, 2019 Fascinating to see how the issue of the Border and the backstop impale the Tories and unionists. For example, take this from a supposedly ?moderate? unionist, and like myself a former member of the WP, one Paul Bew who in a document for Policy Exchange makes much of the idea of the backstop undermining ?consent?

WorldbyStorm - 11:12 Wed Jun 19, 2019 Speaking of working conditions, how about this, a restaurant in England where? The staff handbook states: ?If through your negligence a customer leaves the restaurant without paying you will be liable to pay the full bill including service to the company or it will be deducted from your wages.? It?s hard to imagine what negligence […]A
WorldbyStorm - 10:11 Wed Jun 19, 2019 This story of workplace relations is unfortunately all too believable? A receptionist has been awarded ?51,168 by the Labour Court as compensation for discrimination over how she was treated when she returned to work from maternity leave. The award is the highest available to the Labour Court and is untaxed. The court found against G4S […]A
WorldbyStorm - 05:26 Wed Jun 19, 2019 As always, following on Dr. X?s suggestion, it?s all yours, ?announcements, general discussion, whatever you choose?, feel free.A
WorldbyStorm - 22:56 Tue Jun 18, 2019 The only word to describe this charade where five people who know little and seem to care not a bit vied for the premiership of a large state to our east and stewardship of a crisis that has been three years in the making and for which they appear not to understand its parameters or […]A |
