Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Because it doesent actually employ the drivers, it merely connects driver with punter.


Uber essentially takes a referral fee, with the majority going to the driver




btw, I don't like this so called gig economy, it's exploitive: But I don't see how you can magic independent car owners into employed people with benefits etc at the stroke of a pen.

It's the duty of every employer to make sure that he properly makes deductions for tax and NI for every one of his employees. If he doesn't do this job properly, then he can be made responsible to account himself for such deductions.

It is not the responsibility for the employee to have to tell the employer what to do.

If an employee tells an employer, "I am self employed", then HMRC give the tools and checks and guidelines to the employer for him properly and adequately check whether certain criteria are met and thus how the 'employee/individual' is to be treated.

Simples.

Complicated!

Put it in idle hands of Boris, Liam and David.

They don't seem to have much to do at the moment.

Shit hitting the fan time....


FBI probes newly discovered Hillary Clinton emails and reopens investigation - Trump hails news 'bigger than Watergate



http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/10/28/fbi-probe-newly-discovered-hillary-clinton-emails-and-reopen-inv/

Director of FBI is a Republican

It helps.

Well if these are sensitive/secret emails and they've got Clintons finger
prints on them then she should be shown to be incompetent and unsuitable
to be POTUS, she got away with the first batch of 30,000.

Whats worse...Pussy tapes or highly secret/sensitive emails??...

A timeline of Hilary Clinton's e-mail problems

I do hope Hilary survives this onslaught, even if one assumes she did release classified material. Or indeed, material that mixed up government material with that concerning the Clinton Foundation.

I dread to think what the world would be like with Donald Trump as President of the USA. He is nothing but a blatant liar.

Clinton isn't?

The fact is the choice is absolutely abysmal.

Since the new lead appears to be from emails from either Huma Abedin or her creepy husband, Wiener, appropriate name, I would guess that there may be a conflict with evidence previously given. The rumour mill is that it was investigating agents that forced Comey's hand.
Clinton is a scheming liar but it may not involve her directly. If is does and she is indicted, she will have to resign. Since it will all happen after the nomination, her nutter of a running mate will become President. Still, anything will be an improvement on O'bummer.

Hooray we have escaped. (What?)



I wonder whether the USA's political elite and more or less competent than the UK's/

There's some who think a small rise to 1.5-2.5% in inflation is a disaster,
but obviously they didn't live through the 24.2% that was recorded in 1975
and between 1974(16%)to 1981(11.9%).

The low pound has encourage exporters/manufacturers, stay at home tourist,
foreign tourist(not counting those health tourist).

They call it swings and roundabouts...Winners and Losers...

The ruling elite see their gravytrain being taken away from them, those like
the cleggs, kinnocks(all the family) seeing their EU gold plated pensions stopped
(or maybe not).

Why dosn't little fred asked the same question about his masters in Brussels???

I leave it to clever boys like you to ask Brussels questions!

The target of the BoE is 2% annual inflation. I was amused to see 2 successive articles on Euronews. The first was about the fear of inflation in the UK with the fall in the pound. The second was the encouraging signs that inflation was picking up in the EU.

"I leave it to clever boys like you to ask Brussels questions"

I don't need to ask Brussels any questions, my whole being is for LEAVING.

It wasn't me that made the statement "I wonder whether the USA's
political elite and more or less competent then the UK's/"


When the majority of rules and laws emanate from Brussels that effect
the UK then yes YOU should be asking the same question YOU did in relation
to the competence of the UK and the USA, after all its YOU that wants to
remain in the EU, so YOU should be asking whether THEY"RE competent,
which the answer would undoubtably be....NO THEY'RE NOT COMPETENT...

But you're quite happy to go along with the european project super dream..

Go and take a cold shower!

If you did read the articles it may give a chance to reflect on your decision making when you wasted you vote in the referendum!
