Victim blaming already. She was assaulted in the workplace by her line manager. Her manager’s behavior has been the stuff of ethics training in workplaces for at least a couple of decades, it’s inexcusable. The response of the company was also appallingly poor, I’m surprised the settlement was only £90K. Well done to the woman for challenging this.

I think it’s a response to being banished in the election by that other superhero ’Dark Brandon’.

I spat my coffee when I read this in this morning’s news. Come on Trumpists, wake up already. You bought an Orange and got a Lemon.

Nevermind the 1st Amendment, he’s stepping into dictating business management to businesses, has he failed to grasp who it is that funds the GOP?!

It’s a minor inconvenience. In all other respects your passport renewal will be dealt with efficiently and swiftly. Ask British expats how the private business system they have to use works out for them. The US Passport renewal process is a breeze.

No it won’t. But then that’s not the purpose of his announced intention to make reforms. It’s a distraction from the other more pressing problems the UK is facing. Give it three months, the ‘policy’ will collide with reality and the Government will be blaming others for their own failings…. again.

So enlighten us. Where are you getting your propaganda free news on the progress of this war?

What?

If the US Government believed til til to be a threat to the data on US Government devices then they must also believe it a threat to the data on private devices and those owned/used by businesses. So I agree, ban it across the whole US.

It looks like the squaddies are going to be spread thin on the ground. Baggage handlers are next up for strike action: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/dec/15/heathrow-strike-ground-handlers-pay-talks-fail

Good for you. You got a pay rise you are happy with. Others might not be happy with a similar pay rise and are perfectly entitled to make that judgement by themselves. Your gross pejorative generalizations are once again noted.

As I said in one of the other threads on the subject of industrial action. I’m all in favour of working people joining unions to increase the power they have when negotiating for better pay and conditions. I favour every working person being allowed to pursue the best pay and conditions they can achieve.

You accepted a real terms pay cut. If you are happy with that, good for you.

I’ll remind you once again, since you introduced it into the discussion, your pension is being raised by 10%. I don’t hear you objecting.

The offer is a real terms pay cut. Inflation is north of 10%. https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/network-rail-boss-salary-strike-pay-b2147576.html

I’m not at all sure how I could do such a thing since: A. My comments are not spurious. B. You’ve quoted a response I made to another member. I suggest you focus less on me and more on the topic of discussion.

Shall we add rail company executives to that? How about the executives of companies in receipt of Government contracts, perhaps those in receipt of contracts from the NHS mandated by Government and security firms handed Border Force contracts by Government?

Oh my Lord!

Yeh Righty-O.

Well done Joe, well done Democrats and the few Republicans who backed this. Freedom to pursue happiness by marrying whoever you happen love, fits right into the essence of the liberty at the heart of what is America.

There is a case before the SCOTUS right now ( ie the SCOTUS has agreed to hear the case) in which a business owner wishes to deny service to gay couples. The religious rightwing are actively working to discriminate against gay people. So let’s quit with the denial shall we. https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2022-02-22/supreme-court-free-speech-right-to-turn-away-same-sex-couples

Let’s see if you can work this out. Hospitals are full of people who are already ill, many old and otherwise at risk of infection, not all are vaccinated. The Hospital has a Duty of Care to reduce and control risk. Unvaccinated staff are more likely to infect others if they are infected than are vaccinated staff.

Arguably the dumbest post I’ve read this year. Moreover it seems to me to be deliberately offensive towards those who serve and have served in the military.

Nonsense. You’re once again trying to insert a discussion on the definition of ‘wealthy’ into yet another thread. Workers joining unions and negotiating as a union and taking industrial action to get the best deal they can and maintain some semblance of control over the conditions of their work has nothing to do with your fixation in ‘wealth’. You’ve told us a number of times you feel you are wealthy, good for you. Many British workers feel they cannot continue to put up with their real pay being eroded by below inflation pay increases, they are doing something about it, good for them.

Perhaps the offer to bang pots and pans on doorsteps again didn’t cut it.
