Nick Ferrari is still going on about working from home, people are more productive WFH, not being stuck in traffic for an hour getting stressed before and after work.
What a dinosaur he is.

Lord Sugar was bleating yesterday because PriceWaterHouseCooper have decided to give their staff Friday afternoons off during the summer.
The word Luddites springs to mind.

David Buik said this morning that "you need to see the whites of others' eyes across the table".
He seems to think that the workplace should be some sort of medieval jousting arena 😁
 
Ferrari is obsessed with people working from home because he's a hate-filled self-loathing toad suffering from small-man syndrome. In his mind he still works in a cigarette-smoke-filled office circa 1982 where the boss could slap his secretary on the ass. I actually think he's got early onset demetia or something, he gets fixated on really strange things. Way past his sell-by day, by about 30 years.

PS. David Buik DID retire, Ferrari gave him a tearful farewell. Then he came back. duck knows why.
 
A glorious morning. Jimbo got owned by a Tory Councillor who was defending the fact the was photographed cutting a ribbon and smiling as he opened a food back. Sure, not a good look, that's obvious. But the rage from Jobbo clearly showed the unresolved anger issues he has. Talking over him, being rude, heckoring him. It's obvious why the BBC got shot of him and no Tory politician will go on his show, what's the point? How can you have a conversation with someone like that? Luckily the Councillor remained pretty calm and didn't lower himself to that level of childish ranting. No surprise James and Martin Lewis went to the same school, Martin has similar fits of rage ... what exactly HAPPENED at the school?!

Part of me wishes the Councillor would have started crying, saying that he was only invited there and everyone was laughing and someone took a photo ... I was only trying to help my community etc. etc. Jobbo would have been facing an OCFOM charge of bullying. That would have made my bleeping week.
 
Can anyone remember or work out who this presenter was. He was a bit weird, called people "man" and would say "my bad". I remember he had just bought a property when he was let go from LBC. On in the evenings & was on the spoilt brattish side. They used to joke on DS, he was the type to have a blow up alien in his front room. 🤓

Nick interviewing Rees Mogg, who reckons it's a great idea to cut 90,000 civil service jobs.
What could possibly go wrong ??

Sir Humphrey would be appalled but some might welcome it. My sister, who worked in Whitehall, opted for early retirement in the last clear-out they had. Treated herself to a new car with the golden handshake and has a pension larger than many people's salary.

That's nice.
Good luck to anyone trying to renew a passport, wanting anything dvla related or enquiring about their income tax/NI though.

I agree. The ill-named civil service in this country has a stranglehold on all our lives, from folk simply trying to keep their lives running smoothly, to Ministers like Priti Patel, who struggle to carry out policies of which their civil servants don't approve.

(OT - I see Snowy's having a battle with Wordle today. I did it in three! :p )

Brian is a really odd fellow as in the tweet below he seems to think the Daily Mail writes for him. Also if you look at the reply quoting David Lammy on the benefits of legalising cannabis is not the strength they seem to think it is.
