Furlough Blows
Cometh the hour, cometh the charlatan. And in business, coronafraud is not just confined to online ads by individual twicers for non-existent supplies. It’s becoming part of corporate policy. As most will know, the UK Government has stepped up to the plate and will pay 80% of an employee’s salary, up to £2,500 per month,…

No Need to Faucet
Harvey Weinstein has tested positive for coronavirus. So, that’s 2 weeks of isolation covered and now just 22 years and 50 weeks to straighten out. Meanwhile, the office plant is expecting twin saplings. We’re all waiting for the lockdown order in the UK which I guess means that people can venture out only for groceries…

Whistling in the Wind
A Chinese Doctor gets t-boned for speaking out about the coronavirus, and everyone is up in arms. I could understand it if he’d been dumped on for peddling powdered rhino dick, but from his perspective he was on a determined course to adhere to the Hippocratic oath. Sadly, he has shuffled off his mortal coil,…

Honour Marks, Get Set…
I’ve never been one for awards and medals – I sussed out the scam while a mere lad at school. After penning a superlative account of the Ayatollah Khomeini’s return from exile in France, I was awarded a coveted gold star. Emerging triumphant and euphoric from the headmaster’s office, I encountered the class dunderhead –…

Unfurling the Freak Flypaper
Earlier this year, Boris Johnson’s chief adviser launched a recruitment campaign ‘seeking weirdos and misfits’. He’s patently never worked in the recruitment sector, because that is indeed longhand for ‘launched a recruitment campaign’. Every campaign attracts weirdos and misfits – it’s one of the rules. The modus operandi of the switched-on is that such weirdness…

Two’s Company…
While I was largely expecting the lead stories of the last few days be about President Trump’s acquittal or even more coronabollocks, the throbbing headline bulging through the copy of most organs centred on another celebrity-out-of-the-closet disclosure. And that’s newsworthy? I’m straining to find a shit to give. But before the woke and throbbing mass…

A World of Pure Imagination
I think and talk about the declining service industry a lot. Probably too much, in fact. The public looks down their haughty noses at service providers; organisations themselves see it as a necessary evil but underfund it as a form of passive-aggressive lip-service. A way to block, frustrate and demoralise customers into giving up. In…

A Crisis of Competence
As the dust begins to settle, both Labour and Liberal Democrat parties in the UK are contemplating their imminent leadership changes. So, you can well imagine an army of potential superstars waiting in the wings, right? Wrong. There is of course no dearth of volunteers for both posts, though both parties are afflicted by a…
