    doing a report on "self employed" cleaners in London who aren't self employed because they have to sign in and out, don't use own tools, have no control of hours

    The ever so righteous BBC should probably attack their own journalists first, who no doubt are all working through Personal Service Companies.

        You failed to mention the full story which provides context and explains the attack.

        Romanians do not have the right to work in the country. The get out clause is that they can be self employed (which really shouldn't be the case). Hence some agencies are happy to employ them as "self-employed" people because its very cheap.
        merely at clientco for the entertainment

          far too subtle a distinction, most of the public can only cope with 'God = Good, Satan=Bad' level of arguments.
          Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  I had to laugh at the mealy mouthed moron when he was trying to explain a point about the shameful Rochdale incidents without using the Muslim word. I sensed everyone in the audience wanted to help him out the way you would if he were a stammerer. He went on and on and on and on and managed about 5 minutes without actually saying it.

                  Kirsty played a blinder though.

                  I thought it was funny when the ginger rodent hater was caught out whining about Mitchell calling the cops plebs by the Ginger Rodent himself lol. Didn't shut her up for long though

                    I simply do not understand this. We cannot be self employed via an agency (1973) legislation IIRC. So how can they? Perhaps I got it wrong and it's just that agencies simply won't do business unless we are limited. <----Confused lol
