Mega brat twat that Ronaldo chappie. 

[Mr Larrington]

ICBA to check whether nauseating berk Sir Philip Green has been nominated before (though I'd be most surprised if he hasn't) but he deserves a place at the top table just for telling Richard Fuller MP off for looking at his pint him in a funny way.

[Torslanda]

There's a half billion pound hole in the BHS pension fund but he's apologised for it.

So that's OK then . . .

[Polar Bear]

Funny innit.   If we 'forgot' a few quid on our tax returns we could and probably would end up in court, even prison.    When the establishment get caught with their proverbials in the pig till they simply apologise and everything is just dandy.

Katie Hopkins - a regular here - only because I found myself sitting at a lunch table with her yesterday and concluded that she is even more vile than reputed.

Poor you, Rob. But why? And how did you cope?

The word 'farce' springs to mind. I wonder if such inquiries (or whatever it was) actually ever decide anything at all.

Perhaps he'd like to explain personally to the technical trainee that he doesn't want her in his company? This is a place that struggles to recruit and retain skilled technical staff as it is.

[Polar Bear]

I don't suppose as a newbie himself any cuts affect his package?

Thought not.

[Ham]

.... fewer paid sick days.

.... to save around £4 million a year and increase productivity.

Just the sort of place we want people dragging themselves in when they're not up to it.

mcshroom, please tell us if the new intake includes anyone called Homer, please.

Not that I give a damn but I'd kinda thought (hoped?) that the Hopkins persona was construct. She comes across as so vile, so pantomime baddie, that I figured it can't be real.

It may all be an act but, if it is, she's certainly worthy of several BAFTAs (not that she would accept an award from a bunch of leftie luvvie profiteers, of course) for sustaining it so convincingly. She appears to revel in the opprobrium that she attracts - for example, boasting about being questioned by the police for "hate crimes" - and sees herself as speaking up for people who otherwise have no voice (presumably because many of them have not evolved that far yet).

Deano - I was at a small conference discussing the implications of the changing balance between reporting and commentary in mainstream media. All interesting stuff and, Hopkins excepted, the quality of participants was pretty good.

That's what is happening to public servants in general (and yes I know the place is privatised). Two days ago I received my letter telling me my take home pay would be going down, two months after it did, by £45 a month. I am also being blackmailed to "volunteer" for revised T&Cs that will deliver another 5% or more pay cut. Retention is now dreadful, and Hunt et al are claiming that charging nurses to study, which in practice means charging them for working in the NHS, will somehow deliver more nursing students.

Presumably that's due to overtime or allowances, since it's not actually legal to cut someone's salary without their consent?

[Feanor]

Yebbut, there's consent, and there's consent.

As a long-term inmate of the oil industry, I can tell you exactly how consent works.
For example, the Working Time Directive.
The UK successfully battled for the right to opt out of this, on behalf of all the Hard Working Families.
We got the 'right' for employees to consent to work longer hours.
Yay for worker's rights and choice.
Right.

Actual effect?
"Sign the opt-out and continue your long hours, or sling your hook."

Staggering that he can even begin to say it's about fairness to the employees and local community having just stated it's about saving £4m.

Yes, I've seen employees put through a dismiss and re-engage process at the time of a redundancy exercise and being, formally, told that if they didn't first sign an opt out of their final salary pension scheme that they wouldn't be re-engaged. I was confident this was in breach of the case law, quite apart from just plain wrong, but no one chose/felt able to challenge.

[mrcharly-YHT]

I would like to nominate an un-named person.

They are the brother-in-law of a friend. Said friend is an iraqi muslim (half-german, half-iraqi). Lived in the UK, married to an English guy for about 30 years.
   
The Nominee is an immigrant to NZ and posts a constant stream of anti-immigrant, anti-muslim rhetoric to his sister-in-law's facebook wall. Said rhetoric is up to and including the "all Muslims are rapists/terrorists/Islam is inherently evil/all immigrants should go back where they came from". Anyone pointing out that he himself is an immigrant is called a uneducated guardian lefty bigot and told to go stick their head back in the sand.

He is an absolutely prize class arsehole of the first order. A white-privileged bellend.

[Polar Bear]

Can we have group nominations?

I nominate the LEAVE campaign liars.   Oh, and the REMAIN campaign spineless jerks.   

I am still waiting for either side to present a coherent argument either way.   Fortunately I have exercised by brane and sent off my postal vote already.

Roll on Friday!

It's not, she jogs on the cycle path I use to bimble to work.
"Get out of my f*ing way" seems to be her mantra.

[Mr Larrington]

For the good of humanity you must arrange a brake failure while testing those spiked winter tyres you've always promised yourself.

[Polar Bear]

Tell us where.   We can have a 'yacf massive' brake failure ...

Un-named judge at York crown court and the road-rage twat whose conviction he quashed

DISABLED Yorkshire pensioner who admitted assaulting a cyclist in a road rage incident has had his driving ban overturned, and says he pleaded guilty to the charge only because he was going on holiday.

Brian McDonald, 77, who says he is “no road-rage pensioner” was given a 12-month driving ban after pleading guilty to assaulting a 26-year-old cyclist last month.

Scarborough Magistrates’ Court heard Mr McDonald had called the police after an altercation with a cyclist, and needed hospital treatment for an injured finger.

Mr McDonald’s driving ban was quashed after he took his case to York Crown Court last week.

Mr McDonald, of Doncaster, said: “I was very upset by it all - the only reason I pleaded guilty was because I thought it was a minor offence.

“They were talking about having a trial in September, but I go away with my wife to Spain then and we go every year.

“I just wanted it over with - I thought I would just get a fine of about £75.

“My wife and I were very upset by it because we are both disabled and need the car to be able to get to hospital appointments.”

Magistrates also ordered him to pay a £220 fine, £85 in court costs and £150 compensation to the cyclist.

But when York Crown Court overturned the ruling, he was told he would not have to pay anything to the man he was convicted of assaulting.

However, the assault conviction still stands.
