A little education for you....:hee:

Kate has given countless speeches and opinions on many issues, like mental health, childcare, addiction, the empowerment of women, early year intervention, disability, foster care, bereavement, depression, bullying etc etc.

Not the stuff you want to hear, apparently.

She is the future Queen; like Queen Elizabeth she doesn’t do controversial, desperate attention seeking opinions like some PR craving celeb as befits her status, and like Queen Elizabeth, she is highly respected and loved for maintaining that necessary apolitical stance.

I do get why she wouldn’t be your cup of tea however.

Did I ask for you pro royal guff? No... I wish I'd never mentioned her. Far more important things to discuss.

You admire the other Duchess though, right? Perhaps you would rather Kate couldn’t hack it, schemed to get to LA and be ‘independent’, :laugh: used her ‘hated’ royal titles prominently to make mega deals and then need helpers to produce anything at all; lie through her teeth over and over again; never actually do anything of note that involves physically moving or leaving her reclusive mansion; no joy of being out there boosting the profile of tons of charities and being fantastic ambassadors for Britain at home and abroad.

Nah. Kate is worth every penny, give the gal a raise! :fan:

‘Living life to the full’ - According to their neighbours, Meghan rarely leaves the house, Harry goes to a few things alone and is seen aimlessly riding his bike a lot, they have no visitors, their children have no playmates, they don’t socialise or have parties like their neighbours do, they are known as the ‘recluses’.
They don't DO anything of note. Sad really.
Maybe that is why they are so attention seeking and get their PR to release this self - important statement or that tidbit at least once a week to desperately remind us they exist and are very prominent people on the world stage whose opinions matter. :hehe:

Well it's the reverse of a cap really... "plugged" I guess is a better word... companies can pay out as much as they want for redundancy but there are statutory minimums that they have to pay for each year served up to 20 years. They CAN continue to pay more for each year beyond 20 if they want, there's no rule saying they can't. Most obviously do max out at 20 years though (pay as little as possible in other words).

Kizzy


Parliament now closed for the Easter break
Nothing has changed.


The CEO of P&O Ferrys
has won.

He will pay the Fine for not
talking to the sad union.


Many are now taking the Payout
as if you fight them, it could go on for months,
with no income.

i dont think its a win when p&o will have to pay minimum wage to all their new hires if the want to dock in the uk. Its also not a win when they have had to shell out a fortune in redundancy payments and now wont have cheap labour

Yesterday


[P&O Ferries faces a probe into the controversial
no-notice sackings of nearly 800 members of staff.
The Insolvency Service has launched criminal
and civil investigations into the circumstances
around the redundancies.
In a letter, it said it would consider
"prompt and appropriate action"
if the law was broken.
Grant Shapps has also asked the service
to consider disqualifying its boss from
acting as a company director.]


[Mr Hebblethwaite said he would not step down.
He said he felt compelled "to discharge my duties for
this historical company" and provide
"the effective operation of the trade routes upon
which this country depends".

"I will therefore continue to do my utmost
to ensure that this company has a sustainable
business for the future."

This is a Time the P&O Ferrys are needed.




[Ferry passengers heading to France are facing
long queues amid disruption to cross-Channel services
from Dover to Calais and Dunkirk.
The delays affecting all DFDS services were
blamed on a shortage of ferries and
bad weather yesterday and overnight.]


[It was made worse after a DFDS ship
hit a berth in Dunkirk on Thursday
evening due to high winds and had
to be taken out of service,
according to the owner.
Capacity at the Port of Dover was already
under strain following the suspension
of P&O services.]

Maybe they don't want to work for a company like that. I wouldn't. .. Now they have a few grand to tide them over till they find a new position.
Employees win, agency workers win. P+Os reputation is in tatters.
