We're a week away from the most painful Budget in history thanks largely to the eye-watering cost of lockdown. Yet Baroness Hallett says next time the Government must be ready to go harder and faster. This is insanity.

Taxpayers Are Charged for the BBC Whether They Like it or Not Sat Nov 22, 2025 11:00 | Charlotte Gill
It's bad enough that all UK TV users are forced to fund the BBC via a TV licence. But it's worse than that, says Charlotte Gill: millions of pounds of taxpayers' money are handed to the corporation via backdoor channels.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3today I read about problems of unionised workers
and non-unionised workers in Ireland the same day as I read about the closure of KMart throughout the united states.
I wonder do the Irish american community care about the lack of union rights in the USA?
Do we want union representation or not?
How do workers fight this system that is not working. It is has failed. American is not giving any answers.
Local stores that are among the 326 that Kmart Corp. said it plans
to close:
Super Kmart, 3500 Joslyn Road, Auburn Hills.
Super Kmart, 41660 Ford Road, Canton Township.
Big Kmart, 50700 Gratiot Ave. N., Chesterfield Township.
Super Kmart, 5851 Mercury Drive, Dearborn.
Super Kmart, 18700 E. Meyers, Detroit.
Big Kmart, 27313 Telegraph Road, Flat Rock.
Super Kmart, 3710 Dix Highway, Lincoln Park.
Big Kmart, 20891 13 Mile Road, Roseville.
Big Kmart, 28800 Telegraph Road, Southfield.
Super Kmart, 33201 Van Dyke Ave., Sterling Heights.
Super Kmart, 45460 Utica Park Blvd., Utica.
Bankrupt retailer Kmart Corp. announced plans Tuesday to close 326
stores — including 13 in Michigan and 11 in metro Detroit — and said
it plans to file a reorganization plan by Jan. 24 with U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Chicago.
suffer from many of the same problems as European, primarliy a class of "representatives" which become an entrenched bureaucracy.
On the positive side US unions decided to register and represent illegal immigrants. They realised that to keep these people out meant that employers had another way of driving down wages.
The same sort of thing is going to happen if this agreement goes ahead in Ireland. There'll be non-unionised, barely higher than minimum wage workers with no voice.
Of course, part of that is there own problem, but if unions want to push employers into an escalating wage competition then this agreement isn't the way to do it.
THERE IS NO WILL BE ABUOT IT, WERE ALREADY HERE. NO UNION, NO VOICE, INTIMADATED AND CONFORMIST
