Employment Tribunal dismissed the Claimant&#39;s case for Unfair Dismissal. She contended she had been dismissed because of her former councillorship for UKIP &amp; cited four stated beliefs in evidence: &#34;I believe the UK should be outside the EU / I oppose illegal migration / I am against the halal slaughter of animals / I would be happy to leave the ECHR&#34;. Held: these amounted to no more than opinion or viewpoint, &amp; not underlying philosophical belief. 2024-11-25T15:49:47Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxwred8wg4knmxwzmrscmnz3ezajyxm2gkrun027p5saagvrjh7rszypw8qkn7tpfcqp726uhagygmg6g9f0cqnwrksxw28qqmhj6wjxfnjf03sz0 The farm tax fightback deploys the &#39;we grow your food&#39; submission, which is fair. <br/>Timely to remind ourselves however that the lesson of two submarine blockades is that Britain is not self-sufficient in food. As regards warm-climate produce - eg oranges - we NEVER WILL BE. We therefore screw around with our supply chains at our risk - rationing at best. #Brexit saw us playing fast &amp; loose with our food supply chains, &amp; although seemingly normal, our supply resilience is diminished.<br/>#RejoinEU 2024-11-24T10:40:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrvprtwv3sh0h8yar90mmtg3qp6rpw34yxnnpg2qdgdvt5jld2y0qzypw8qkn7tpfcqp726uhagygmg6g9f0cqnwrksxw28qqmhj6wjxfnjx9u5ym In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvtea0axywn6ewgwfdjux75ev3yw7s65804jj9hqzyq7guvjfxhjct847gr'>nevent1q…47gr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve read the judgment and it is very rigorously explained &amp; persuasive.

This vessel &amp; cargo is patently unsafe - why else did it put to sea to dump contaminated cargo? Addition of an oxidant to this stuff turns it into explosive. Even local Tories are now up in arms, and Lowe looks like the fool he is. Decision to dump at sea, with unspecified &#34;contaminant&#34; is disgusting from an environmental view. 2/2 2024-11-20T08:08:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxghngqne0jwtxgs8xp3qntz4en52x7xtj46z8drxgdk09mmzuyrgzypw8qkn7tpfcqp726uhagygmg6g9f0cqnwrksxw28qqmhj6wjxfnju04mhw <a href="https://splash247.com/ruby-back-in-the-headlines-as-it-offloads-some-of-its-controversial-cargo-into-the-north-sea/">https://splash247.com/ruby-back-in-the-headlines-as-it-offloads-some-of-its-controversial-cargo-into-the-north-sea/</a><br/><br/>Trouble in Reformtown. Rupert Lowe MP welcomed the Maltese MV Ruby into #Yarmouth claiming it was good for jobs, &amp; he takes 3 spoons of ammonium nitrate in his tea. Contaminated, the fertiliser becomes explosive (cf Beruit disaster). The ship puts to sea again, to just outside the 12 mile limit, to dump &#39;contaminated&#39; cargo in the North Sea. No news on contaminant, but likely fuel oil. The claim is made the Secretary of State has no power to order out - this is false 1/2 2024-11-20T08:01:41Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswhwupcuqtjd6xman0kvmk32wdh520d8r8smfgpqrx2aavnk7857gzypw8qkn7tpfcqp726uhagygmg6g9f0cqnwrksxw28qqmhj6wjxfnjlldsu5 <a href="https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/24728648.plans-travellers-site-west-dereham-norfolk/">https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/24728648.plans-travellers-site-west-dereham-norfolk/</a><br/><br/>Trusses gotta Truss. <br/>Even out of office she&#39;s a prejudiced piece of work.
