Is gaining the formal qualification of an MBA time and money well spent?
November 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment
Ask those with MBA after their name what it was like combining high-level studying with a full-time job and they don’t pull any punches – ‘horrendous’, ‘hellish’, ‘think it will be hard and then multiply that 100 times’.

This has never truly been about ‘greedy’ lawyers and saving money
November 23, 2011 By Leave a Comment
It has been said of the English that they prefer pets to people; but perhaps they prefer petrol to people. A cynical observation perhaps, but as the Lords prepares to sound the death knell for civil legal aid, a peak at No 10’s e-petitions website is instructive. Over 110,000 signed a petition opposing January’s 3p a litre fuel rise, while at press time more than 80 Tory MPs were expected to rebel over the measure.

Here are some questions which puzzle me. Why has money laundering, of all crimes, become the single crime where it is enacted everywhere in Europe that lawyers must breach their code of conduct and report on suspicions of criminal activity?
Is money laundering worse than crimes where people die or are violated? Does it have a popular echo, so that the tabloids and political parties are crying out for justice to be done?
