It does make him a bit of a moron in itself. More than that though, it's the fact he has no awareness of how awful at this shit he is and so, instead of handing it off to someone who'd make a decent job, he risks embarrassing the organisation and himself by attempting to send it out like that. That's the real moronity right there.

Surely it would have to be a fairly woeful marketing department that just sent that out verbatim. Isn't prettying up what directors send them part of their job?

My dad sucks at spelling and grammar - he still can't spell my wife's name. It doesn't make him a moron, it's just something he's not very good at, like I'm not very good at sewing or wrapping presents. Put the man in front of a broken object and it'll be working again in moments, however.

The lack of care and attention and made up words is just a symptom of an overall moronic outlook (see also current POTUS)

The whole article he vomited up reckons that HMRC have brought in the Criminal Finances Act 2017 to combat people moving over to dodgy payment schemes after changes to IR35 in April which is complete horseshit. He claims the changes are aimed at contractors (complete horseshit) and then proceeds to write paragraphs and paragraphs about how a contractor not paying their tax and NI could result in someone from an agency going to prison. Further horseshit.

Another choice extract;

Quote:
The healthcare sector being one of the biggest effected sectors found more and more contractors were choosing to use non-compliant providers to counter act the changes with agencies hands being forced.


I mean what the fuck does that even mean?

I understand not everyone is as big a grammar pedant as me and as long as the meaning is conveyed then that is probably sufficient for 99% of people. There was no meaning in any of this other than some kind of word salad from someone that doesn't understand the subject they are writing about and speaking to people day in and day out. His saving grace is the people he speaks to on a daily basis are mainly recruitment consultants...

I did say a friend thought he was gay, simply going on the fact that she sold him the house and he lives with his brother. But that was years ago.

Hitler's bell ends!

Ding-dong battle over Nazi church bells
Politico wrote:
A church in a small German town decided to take down a Nazi-era bell decorated with four swastikas.

The bell, dating from 1933, in the church in Rilchingen-Hanweiler will “as of immediately no longer ring during services or other liturgical events,” the local Protestant church community said in a statement Wednesday.


Phew! Parishoners can sleep peacefully.

"Decided"? I thought depictions of the Swastika were illegal?

The implication from the article (and from reading the church's statement) is that they've only just discovered them following a controversy in another village.

I see UKIP have ditched the pound sign (unwanted Italianism, after all) in favour of a lion with a huge mane. Not sure what this imagery says about them, as male lions lounge around all day whilst the lionesses do all the hard work, not to mention the whole pride thing.

Nevada! A state with very little gun regulation. Everyone can carry one. You have to have a background check to buy a new gun, but private sales are legal, so that's pointless. You can buy as much ammo as you want. Yay for freedom!

This BBC article from last year states that between 1968 and 2011, the number of deaths from firearms on US soil was 1.4 million people. More american deaths than all of the wars that they have fought combined. But, yeah, carry on. You get your handgun and feel safe.
