  • Bank taxes won’t solve the problem

    This weekend, David Cameron joined the growing list of politicians advocating a Robin Hood Tax, to claw back for the taxpayers a small percentage of the millions the banks are making in profits. But, as the Observer’s Heather Stewart notes: David Cameron’s announcement yesterday that he would...

  • Eat as much management-speak as you can

    This made me laugh earlier today. The HRD is having a rant about ‘unlocking potential’: “Unlocking potential” must be right up there with “people are our greatest asset”, “the war for talent” and “employer branding” as one of the largest pieces of yawny bollocks spouted in the world of business...

  • Return of the bollock (for one day only)

    “Unlocking potential” must be right up there with “people are our greatest asset”, “the war for talent” and “employer branding” as one of the largest pieces of yawny bollocks spouted in the world of business. The words sound great, like “eat as much...

  • Where you at?

  • As time goes by……

    Sometimes in life you have a moment of pure full-on clarity and you realise how much everything has moved on. Sure we are all cognisant of the “digital age” of web 2.0, web 3.0 blah blah blah. But these are ethereal concepts that monopolise technology pages and blend into relative insignificance through...
