Why ? Are you suggesting they should be less "productive" in an office.

Who says it has anything to do with WFH ?
Telephone systems are perfectly capable of providing your "office" phone at home.
We run a whole helpdesk system using such systems.

Also, what about the current young people? WFH would stunt their social skills.

Huh ?

It needs careful thought.

In some cases it may require some thought by employers.

Good luck getting past my BitLocker password (which encrypts the entire drive).

They do, as do I. My contract states my "office" is my home address.

Correct. That’s what I do.

People talk about £3bn as if it’s peanuts. Think about what we could do with that sum of money - to eradicate homelessness, for our own people for example. It is a scandalous waste of money and this stupid and irresponsible level of spending has to stop.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

Just think about what £32b could have done for homelessness, including the written-off £5bn of fraud.

With a bit of luck, Reform UK will get control of Wales.
I've no idea whether or not they'll solve Wales' problems, but it'll certainly rile one or two forum members who are obviously practising now.

I thought we were discussing figures that are "peanuts" and could have done something about homelessness.

So, rather than see a perceived change in a country, you'd prefer to see people angry about it.

My apologies, up until now I'd been under the impression you were a grown-up.

Given the number of Tory defectors I think it has more to do with Reform than you’re making out.

So we can only talk about what could have been done to help homeless people when it benefits your precious Reform?

Re: Reform UK's chronicles

I hope that Reform does a better job with the Welsh homeless than your precious Labour. Although - I doubt it.
