Richard has been involved in staffing and Human Resources for most of the last 30 years. He's worked for some of the UK's largest employers in both public and private sector and including manufacturing, software, healthcare and transportation. He also specialises in helping small employers navigate the increasingly complex challenge of managing staff in a highly politicised and increasingly divided society. He is a Co Founder of Fair Job UK which was launched in April 2024, an Employer Accreditation service and HR Support service aimed at employers with less than 1000 workers down to 1 or 2 employees. Fair Job UK encourages employers to remove politics and activism from the workplace, adopt neutral political positions and to avoid signing up to ideologically motivated campaign groups. The accreditation reassures employees that they won't be cancelled or indoctrinated at work but at the same time, requires them to conduct themselves professionally in the workplace and to leave the politics and activism at home. Richard is a writer and contributes regularly to The Daily Sceptic on workplace and HR issues and you can follow his substack here: https://substack.com/@cjstrachan?utm_source=profile-page fair job can be found here www.fairjob.co.uk https://www.fairjob.uk https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-palmer-765328/ https://x.com/fairjobuk?lang=bn Timestamps: [1:15] What's changed since we first met at 6 weeks versus now at 6 months.

Welcome to The Weekly Sceptic episode 98 This week Nick and Toby talk about: The Olympic opening ceremony and why the world's biggest religion was mocked, in spite of artistic director Thomas Jolly wanting to make it ‘inclusive'. Why Suella Braverman isn't standing in the Conservative leadership election and whether Kemi is the Tories' best hope (Toby thinks so). The violent incident at Manchester Airport last week and whether the police officer at the centre of it was justified in his use of force. Tommy Robinson's recent difficulties and the difficulty in deciding whether he‘s a free speech hero or a free speech grifter. And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes: The attempt by Big Tech and the MSM to memory hole the assassination attempt on Trump and whether their mendacious tactics are likely to get Kamala Harris elected. Kamala's attack on J.D. Vance for being ‘wierd' and J.D.'s response. Everyone's favourite section Peak Woke, in which Nick is unimpressed by a South African woman's request for asylum on the grounds that she wants to continue her polygamous marriage in England and Toby regrets the RAF deciding to drop the name ‘Crusader' from Squadron 14. And in the Based Department, it's a toss up between Donald Trump and J.D Vance.

Welcome to The Weekly Sceptic episode 97 This week Nick and Toby talk about: The strangeness of Biden's announcement that he wouldn't be seeking re-election and the inevitable conspiracy theories that it's given rise to. Was Biden's withdrawal from the Presidential race a palace coup? How much did he really know about it? Why the gap between the announcement and his endorsement of Kamala harris? Can the Democrats ever pose as the guardians of democracy again, given that it's now obvious the elected President hasn't been in charge and the process of selecting his successor has been so undemocratic? Does Kamala have a hope of beating Trump? Does she have anything going for her? She's younger than Trump, but can the Dems really make age an issue in the election, given that Biden was the candidate until five minutes ago? Why is Kamala such a poor public speaker? Is it because she's such an awful boss she can't persuade anyone decent to work for her? Have the Democrats foisted themselves with a Presidential candidate who was a diversity hire? Will this be another nail in the coffin of DEI? And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes: Kim Cheatle's resignation as Secret Service Director after a monstering in Congress and whether she could have avoided that humiliation by resigning the day after the failed assassination attempt. The Leeds riots and whether they are an indictment of mass immigration, as Nigel Farage and others claimed. Everyone's favourite section Peak Woke, in which Nick decries the punishment of a seven year-old girl for writing “All Lives Matter” and Toby weeps at the demonisation of the Prince Albert Memorial. And in the Based Department, the clear winner is the judge who handed out stiff jail sentences to Roger Hallam and his Just Stop Oil comrades.

Welcome to the Weekly Sceptic episode 96 This week Nick and Toby talk about: Where they were when Trump was shot (in the ear). The tsunami of bad takes about the attempt to assassinate the former President, from the Denver Post headline -- "Gunman Dies in Attack" -- to David Baddiel half-jokingly suggesting Trump conspired to have himself shot. Was the abject failure of the Secret Service to protect Trump a cock-up or a conspiracy? Toby thinks cock-up, Nick isn't so sure. The fact that Biden has also benefitted from the failed assassination attempt in the that is has snuffed out the coup to replace him and made replacing him less attractive since Trump's victory is now nailed on. And premium content on www.basedmedia.org, which includes: Trump picking JD Vance as his running mate, which both Toby and Nick think is smart. England's loss in the Euro finals and Gareth Southgate's resignation as manager. Everyone's favourite section Peak Woke, in which Nick decries the Science Museum's decision to stop being funded by a Norwegian energy company and Toby rails against the Key's advice to teachers to liken the British Empire to Nazi Germany. A new section devoted to the most egregious examples of anarcho-tyranny in the past week. And in the Based Department, the clear winner is Donald Trump -- what could be more based than reacting like he did to being shot at -- and the runner up is Health Secretary Wes Streeting for making his predecessor's temporary ban on puberty blockers permanent.
