New chapter at local libraries

Voicing support for library services is something that is a must.  In a society of Government cuts despite Government effectively paying bankers’ bonuses, it’s a tiny drop in the budget of The State to continue to pay for libraries available to all. A CONSULTATION period during which the public can have their say on the [keep reading...]

Zatrudnianie i zwalnianie w teraźniejszym świecie

W zeszłym miesiącu pisałem o tym, jak proponowane zmiany w prawie pracy nie były tym, o czym mówił blok konserwatywnych demokratów. W tym miesiącu, mam opowieść, jak obecnie rzekomo korzystniejsze zasady pracownicze mogą być i są ignorowane – w jaki sposób proces zatrudniania i zwalniania naprawdę działa. Wiele firm wzdłuż i wszerz Wielkiej Brytanii kocha [keep reading...]

Hire and fire in the real world

Last month I wrote about how the proposed changes to Employment Law weren’t about what the Con-Dems spin-doctors said. This month, I’ve a tale of how the present supposedly employee favourable rules can be, and are, ignored – how hire and fire really works. Many businesses up and down the UK love Poles. They don’t [keep reading...]

A GRIEVING woman facing eviction says she is desperate to stay in the council house where her family have lived for nearly 60 years.

Fraud

IFB – fraud? The joke’s on you!

Autocracy is wrong in any form. Of course, its blindingly obvious to anyone other than self-serving sychophants that Gaddafi, Sadam Hussain, Bashir Assad, Stalin, Mao, Hitler – and many many more – were bad people. Of course, in our enfeebled Western Society, there is no similar tyrant. We have nothing even vaguely comparable. There’s no [keep reading...]

Wiadomości – Wielka Brytania

Przychody Brytyjczyków nie tylko stoją w miejscu, ale co gorsza maleją. W 2015 r., gdy upływa kadencja obecnego rządu, będą one na tym samym poziomie, co w 2002 r. – wyliczył IFS (Institute for Fiscal Studies). Według tej renomowanej placówki badawczej średni realny (z uwzględnieniem inflacji) przychód statystycznej rodziny z dwójką dzieci wynoszący w 2002 [keep reading...]

Wiadomości – Praca

Od 2002 roku zginęło na brytyjskich budowach, farmach i w przedsiębiorstwach 16 Polaków, co stanowi aż 38 proc. ogólnej liczby ofiar śmiertelnych wśród obcokrajowców. Dlaczego Polacy? Dlaczego tak wielu? Odpowiedzią jest raport “Wypadki śmiertelne imigrantów w miejscu pracy w Wielkiej Brytanii”, opracowany przez Centre for Corporate Accountability (CCA) i kancelarię prawną Irwin Mitchell. Do kwietnia [keep reading...]
