Now that the week has started (in the UK at least), thought I'd reshare this. Hopefully a few #HR people might find it helpful!

It's empty atm, but will catch posts from now. Open to suggestions to improve it!

If you’re looking for a Sunday morning long read, try this investigation on the chaos of London’s Westminster Bridge and the search for the illegal ice cream operators www.londoncentric.media/p/westminste...

Bonus content: another video of the illegal gambling gangs that I haven’t published before.

How do we still have slow, costly, fragile chains when the rest of the world has binding offers and affordable bridging finance? Does anyone benefit from the system or is it just inertia?

If there was any chance of a better answer than “lol no” from petition.parliament.uk I’d suggest starting one.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

I would like to speak up today for the trans community.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1
