offsite link GDP Growth? No, We?re Already in a Recession Thu Oct 23, 2025 13:00 | David Craig
The economy supposedly grew by 0.1% in August. But David Craig isn't buying it. Once you take out all the extra spending on illegal immigrants and benefits the actual productive economy is already deeply in recession.

Ed Miliband has promised 400,000 'green jobs' by 2030. There's just one problem, says Ben Pile: in 2009 he promised the same number by 2017. Where are they? The only 'green jobs' are the ones adding to our energy bills.

Boots Loots Workers Pay

Boots workers have been left with no option but to hold a protest in response to their premium pay being reduced and have organised a day of action outside the companies store in Donegall Place, Belfast on Saturday 8th October from 12 til 2pm. We ask you to come along and show your support for their demands to have basic terms and conditions of employment re-instated.

We do not understand the decision by Boots to lower premium pay and slash terms and conditions; after all it’s the hard work, professionalism and loyalty of Boots workers that has helped the company earn over £1billion in profits last year. A highly profitable company should be rewarding their workers, not punishing them.

Working alongside their union SIPTU, they are taking a stand and campaigning to reverse this ruthless decision by Boots. We ask you the public to assist us, by supporting the days of action, signing our online petition at www.petitiononline.com/bootloot/petition.html and crucially registering your complaint with senior management in Boots.

In these tough economic times employers are increasingly trying to erode rights in the workplace that were hard fought for, we cannot allow this to happen. If a highly profitable company like Boots can get away with this, you can expect other unscrupulous employers to follow suit. Their fight is your fight. Let us stand together.
