• Do Governments Give Enough Support to Entrepreneurs?

  Posted: March 25, 2010, 3:30 pm by Stephanie Migot

  Chancellor Alistair Darling detailed the UK’s last budget before the election yesterday afternoon, and in the aftermath, while the politicians busy themselves arguing over whether the middle classes will be better or worse off as a result, I am less concerned about child tax credits stamp duty than I am about what’s in it for [...]

• Some Businesses Can Afford to Ignore Ethics

  Posted: March 24, 2010, 3:40 pm by Stephanie Migot

  If the recession hasn’t battered the optimism for the business environment out of you, consider this: while small businesses and entrepreneurs could find themselves shut down over failing to have the wrong licences or filing the wrong paperwork, some of the business companies in the world can make more serious problems disappear. Even better, governments [...]

• Management Should Welcome Whistleblowers

  Posted: March 22, 2010, 4:54 pm by Stephanie Migot

  I’m rather disturbed by an article in the Guardian today reporting that there has been a marked rise in the number of whistleblowers taking their (former) employers to employment tribunals over the last decade. According to the report, the number of cases has increased from 157 in 1999 to 1,791 last year. Whistleblowers report wrongdoing or [...]

• The Perseverance of the Principled Individual

  Posted: March 16, 2010, 2:34 pm by Stephanie Migot

  It would be nice to think that everyone running a business behaves ethically at all times and would never dream of trying to get one over on their colleagues or competitors. Sadly, as reality has shown all too often, this is not always the case. Luckily, there are also people who are willing to stand [...]

• I Love Your Blog, I Just Hate your Comments

  Posted: March 15, 2010, 5:26 pm by Stephanie Migot

  I am trying to build up the blogroll for one of my other projects that the moment, and I’ve been going through my regular reading list to see which websites would be a good fit. What I’ve noticed is that even though I read each and every post I get via RSS feeds, there are [...]

• Spy on your Enemies or Competiton with Twitter Lists

  Posted: March 10, 2010, 2:54 pm by Stephanie Migot

  Although I mainly use this blog for tech and web-related business, I have strayed into politics from time to time, and have sometimes used events outside of my sphere of interest as a jumping-off point for posts. I am one of those bleeding hearts that cares about what’s going on in the world, and when [...]

• The Perils of Choosing a New Mobile Phone

  Posted: March 10, 2010, 2:51 pm by Stephanie Migot

  Yesterday brought the news that a 13 year-old boy had been selling nude pictures that his girlfriend had texted to him to classmates for $5 a pop. Leaving aside the possible prosecution for distributing child porn for a second, the first thought that occurred to me was why a child needs a mobile phone with [...]

• Picture This: ‘Free Belarus’ 2010 Action Day

  Posted: March 9, 2010, 2:34 pm by Stephanie Migot

  I’m going to hijack the blog today to highlight a protest that I’m going to be involved with soon. March 18th is the Young European Federalists’ fifth annual “Free Belarus” day, a day of protest against the regime of Alexander Lukashenko, the last remaining dictator in Europe. While I don’t believe that the protest will lead [...]

• International Women’s Day 2010: Progress

  Posted: March 8, 2010, 2:26 pm by Stephanie Migot

  International Women’s Day is here again, and this year the theme is “Equal rights, equal opportunities: Progress for all.” We can’t really argue with that, can we? Because while steps have been made, and laws have been enacted, there is still too much inequality between the sexes. The tables, however, could be turning. There has been [...]

• Facebook or Twitter: Which is Better for News-Gathering?

  Posted: March 6, 2010, 2:36 pm by Stephanie Migot

  With the news last week that more Americans use social networks as a source of use than use traditional media, and that Twitter has passed the 10 billion tweet mark, it’s obvious that social media is an increasingly important source of discovering and disseminating news. If Facebook and Twitter are the main arenas for such [...]

Blah blah blah

Fish cakes

Alas a fish cake.

Yet more fish cakes

Guess what ... yeah ... fish cakes.

The end of the fish cakes
