Carphone Warehouse – sacking Trade Union members

The Labour Research Department (not a part of the Labour party), has reported in the May 2009 issue that the large mobile phone firm Carphone Warehouse has been sacking staff who join a trade union, and it has:

blocked access [for staff] to the CWU Communication Workers Union website and a site the union runs [...]

I sometimes notice irony, so this isn’t a dig/spat, whatever you might think. I even asked a policeman why this happens -“it just does”, he agreed.

What’s the odds….

Ladbrokes and William Hill have it just about evens that Brown will resign this week, or be pushed…

LGBT Jonathan flyer

The card urges me, in Lib Dem bright yellow tacky font, to visit londonlgbt4jonathan.com – there I drew a blank, as the screenshot shows. I’m not [...]

Welcome to Covent Garden

All of a sudden, I've gone off the idea of coffee.

Pigeons know when to swoop and are well trained to follow human habits. Example one.
