Well this is interesting. You don't even have personal experience of office work but you're sure that people must be more productive in the office than working from home. You're basing this on a hunch and yet you're certain that it's obvious.

A smart arse already posted a link earlier in the thread, here it is again for you: https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/stu

Personally, I put more stock in actual research than I do in the hunch of a gardener and a grifter. So you and Farage aren't right and you might want to reflect on why you're so certain that you both are.

Mate, if working form the office guaranteed no distractions and improved productivity Phil and Gav would have had to get proper jobs more than 20 years ago.

Never been a pen pusher myself,I was building and gardening.

But surely people are more productive working in a office than at home.


(Waits for some smart arse to post a link saying it’s the opposite or doesn’t make any difference).


So someone using evidence to support their argument is now a "smart arse".

How far we've fallen.

Once again you don't undertsand something/don't think it's right, simply because you don't do it/don't have experience of it. Facts and evidence are of no interest, just your feels.

You have to be the most closed minded person I've ever come across. Do you ever try new things/get out of your comfort zone?

My employer decides if I can work from home, not a politician.

I expect his commercial property portfolio is tanking.


Yup agree with this.

Not the business of government where people can work from (other than those directly employed, such as the civil service for example).

Reform need to make their minds up as to whether they are a right-wing libertarian party, or an authoritarian one.

Reform's attack on workers' rights begins on 08:00 - Feb 10 by DJR

Here is something from the Guardian about yesterday's speech. It's all really soundbites designed to appeal to their potential voters but it doesn't really amount to a set of serious policies that are going to solve the country's deep-seated problems.

"Nigel Farage has doubled down on culture war rhetoric at a rally where he told thousands of Reform UK’s rank and file that he was opening up the party’s lists to candidates for a general election.

The Reform leader drew cheers for a speech at the Birmingham NEC where said that a Reform UK government would get rid of all solar farms and take on “leftwing teaching unions.” He added that a Reform government would also ensure there was respect [that] “Judeo-Christian principles underpin the entirety of our civilization”.

Farage also ratcheted up the party’s claims that crime was out of control, claiming that there had been a “near total collapse of law and order” in cities such as London."

And yet, here you are, turning out to support clamping down on a method of working which, for example, allows a lot more working options for disabled people.

working from home has nothing to do with farage, the government, or any prime minister, it's entirely up to employers and their work force. what a strangely misdirected thing for him to focus on.

And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show

Not strange if he or his backers has cash invested in office space.

Do politicians have to disclose where they have investments in or where cash from their backers comes from?

It’s not a secret I work in the betting industry doing the antepost odds for an online firm. I also sometimes do big events in play. Some of those events such as the Super Bowl or the World Cup in June are in the middle of the night. My firm have had the software and programmes installed into my house so that these events can be done at my home rather than me getting on a train for 90 minutes to come in during the night.

The superbowl the other day I changed the match winner odds 144 times during the match and ran 8 separate spread markets. It is frankly utter bollox from Farage that I could’ve been more productive by doing that job in the office and yet it would’ve meant 3 hours extra travelling, I’d be away from the missus overnight and would’ve had to wait a few hours for the first train home from the office.

Nigel.. you can go f*** yourself.

You'd be surprised, especially amongst the elderly who didn't do that sort of thing.

It's all very calculated.

Its the sort of thing that plays well to his core support (miserable old men and women who need to sneer at the younger generation), but it will lose him support with the people he will need to vote for him if he wants to get anywhere near government.

An odd move tbh.

But there will be other soundbites for them.

And it's all very calculated because it is designed to evoke an emotional response.

Indeed, if the last 10 years or so has taught us anything, it is that for many voters emotion is the main driving force for how they vote.

Another thing is this rubbish about productivity. Politicians trying to compare us with places like China where, even if you believe their Stakhanovised figures, the work environment is totally different to the West. Intense industry with few environmental controls, manned by labour migrating from rural areas, living in barracks and under such pressure that suicides are common (and probably under-reported). More like the worst visions of the 1850s than the 21st century.

Is that what we really want?

Good Lord! Whatever is it?
