Out and about on a Saturday morning, seeing window cleaners up first thing getting on with the job. Plumbers and electricians starting work. Cafe owners, opening for a busy day. Publicans, preparing for the weekend Christmas rush.
Such a brutal contrast to the army of jumped-up little civil servants and politicians in Whitehall who have already clocked off the Christmas - the ones who implement the tax, devise the nonsense regulations, make the life of small business owners absolute hell.
They don't care about dividend tax rises, or VAT thresholds, or IR35, or mountains of bullshit HR rules.
They don't understand, they don't care.
Comfortable work environments, absolutely zero accountability, total job security, great pensions, no targets. Nobody EVER gets fired. The out of office reply in regular use, of course.
Work from home a few days a week. Maybe head in for drinks once a week, but that's at a stretch. Don't even try and contact them past 15.00 on a Thursday.
These busy little bureaucrats have embedded themselves into the system, building it so that their own pompous role seems irreplaceable.
Honestly we need to drag these people into the real world. The world of Saturday morning work. Weekend work. ANY WORK.
Freeloaders gliding through life on the back of productive Britain.
I'm with the cafe owner. The publican. The window cleaner. The plumber. The electrician.
THEY deserve our respect and our gratitude.
They're the ones who make this country work, not the pretentious empire-building desk-jockey in central London.
A total reset is required.
@batleyrhino@PeterSmithYEP I went to both those games, hard to believe itโs so long ago, might be my memory lapse but did Terry Naylor score the Leeds try at Thrum hall? He wasnโt on the team sheet, also remember here was several missed penalty goals that day
Just having a well-deserved show off!
Here is a fantastic write-up about our amazing SECOND YEAR of receiving the "Best Educational Day Out" award from the SME Northern Enterprise Awards!
We couldn't be prouder of our little team and our big achievements.
