The Night Thread Mk. IX

I fucking hate Sleep paralysis. horrible feeling and quite scary.

While I appreciate the mention, I'm sure my D in A-Level Law doesn't make me an expert. I think terriesmad guy actually has legal experience, but either way, look at your contract Deano, if there's something about notices you might have a case. If your boss owns the business and then is closing it down, surely he would need to do that properly before sacking everyone.

Situations like that are where unions actually become useful.

I know some employment law, but I really wouldn't want to give any advice using it (I'm self-taught in that area, and I've never had to use it for anything other than exams). Were the area of law crime or civil litigation I'd happily offer advice, but in employment matters I'm just not qualified.

Deano, your best shot is to find somewhere that advises pro bono where you are. Citizens Advice Bureaux offer pro bono advice, but it might be limited in scope. I'd also suggest going to a local university to see if they have a student law office, but with it being the summer I'd have my doubts about whether they'd be able to handle new enquiries. It's also possible that local solicitors firms offer some kind of pro bono scheme. All I can say for certain is that if the worst came to pass you would have three months to take action otherwise any claim you might have would be out of time.

In 2013 Hollobone was one of 4 MPs who camped outside Parliament in a move to facilitate parliamentary debate on what they called an “Alternative Queen’s Speech” -an attempt to show what a future Conservative government might deliver.[21] Some 42 policies were listed including reintroduction of the death penalty and conscription, privatizing the BBC, banning the burka in public places and preparation to leave the European Union.[21] The Daily Telegraph believes the whips sent Edward Leigh to try and persuade the group not to table the amendments.[21]

So he's a cuntbucket and it's never going to happen. Good to know.
