a4e

I see a4e is now making a loss. Good

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/jobs/9788801/A4es-Emma-Harrison-paid-1.5m-dividend-despite-pre-tax-loss.html


Scandal-hit A4e paid its former chairman Emma Harrison a £1.5m dividend last year before she stepped down, with further payments to associated companies, despite the group falling to a £2.1m loss, accounts show



Accounts filed at Companies House also reveal A4e paid Miss Harrison’s associated business, Andromeda Park, a conference management company, £188,000, for “services” and her husband’s business, Thornbridge, £816,000 for lease of property, totalling just over £1m for the couple.
This is despite A4e making a loss of £2.1m in 2012, following a pre-tax profit of £15.1m in 2011.
Group sales declined from £234.3m in 2011 to £194.1m last year. In the UK, sales were significantly down, from £215.6m to £167.1m over the period. The highest paid director at A4e received £416,000, the accounts showed. This is £110,000 more than the highest paid director in 2011.

Sound familiar


The National Labour Service

The previous government had started many work schemes to reduce unemployment. One of these schemes was the Reichsarbeitsdienst (or the RAD, Reich Labour Service). In July 1935 the Reich Labour Service Act was passed, which forced every man aged between 18 and 25 to:
  • complete 6 months training at the RAD
  • wear military uniform
  • live in camps
  • receive pocket money only (no wages)
  • do military/physical exercise every day.

Obese and other unhealthy people could be monitored to check whether they are taking exercise and have their benefits cut if they fail to do so under proposals published on Thursday by a Conservative-run council and a local government thinktank

Iain Duncan Smith: universally challenged

It is unwise to stake a political reputation on an IT system, and one anonymous cabinet minister is already calling universal credit 'a disaster waiting to happen'

The insanity begins


Obese people could face benefit cuts

Smart cards could be used to monitor claimants' use of gyms, and those who do not exercise could be penalised

http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2013/jan/03/obesity-benefits-cuts

Iain Duncan Smith's advisers warn of consequence of benefits crackdown

Committee says withdrawing benefits for those judged unwilling to seek work risks driving claimants into 'crime or prostitution'
