Lib Dem criticism for Tory donor Adrian Beecroft's report just keeps coming.
One Lib Dem MP described Adrian Beecroft's work as "frankly shit" when I asked about it.
They suggested there was very little research and it was just a "rant" by the venture capitalist.
"That was after I'd got through all the spelling and grammar errors," they added.
Their comments come after business secretary Vince Cable criticised the proposal that makes it easier for businesses to sack under-performing workers.
Cable said it was "the wrong approach" and warned that it could "scare the wits" out of people.
Former Lib Dem Treasury spokesman Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay described it as the "economics of the madhouse".
Other proposals in the report include delaying the introduction of flexible working for parents, abandoning plans for all employees to request flexible working and removing some restrictions on employing children.

If Cable and Oakeshott are against it, then all is right in the world.

Would that be "employing children" as in "using them as climbing chimney sweeps".
Lord Shaftesbury would not be amused by this w******r Beecroft.

Oh, where to start? Sort of like saying, 'I fink he's a dummy' or 'I talk good English'.

The last couple of Lib Dems manifestos included a commitment to gay "marriage" and joining the Euro. It's unclear to me why they think anyone is taking them seriously any more.
If they had been in power with the Stalinist Brown instead of the wet Cameron they would have been endorsing the sale of gold reserves to prop up the new Reichsmark. They would have been enthusiastic about borrowing billions from the Chinese to fund "economic growth" in multi culti Lesbian Donkey Sanctuary Outreach programs.
Lib Dems with whom I come in contact are draconian statist authoritarians and neither Liberal nor Democrat.
A period of quiet reflexion is long overdue.

"That was after I'd got through all the spelling and grammar errors," they added. You don't say that a captain of British industry cannot spell or did he just get one of his minions to dream something up!

Agree with Curbishly.
If Cable and Oakshitt don't like something then almost by definition it must be a good thing.

Ah socialists eh. What are they like. Manage to be both intelligent and at the same time incredibly silly. Most people are employed by SME who simply can't afford all the red tape workers "rights" and employment law. Of course it's ideal that wage earners enjoy security and respect.
But the alternative to employing people on the current terms is too often to employ no one at all. Everyone loses. What's the good in that?

i read one silly comment about most people being employed by someone who can't afford the red tape.
I employed 30 people who generated wealth for me, i thought that is what capable business people did.
In 35 years i can't ever remember any of my associates complaining about red tape, which can mean safety regulations an a minimal level of protection. Ye sw edo see countries that have removed regulation, China , India , Mexico what a wonderful way to live. Oh and lets not forget the banks, with thier lack of regulation.
