Mustard gas among toxic waste in Wales' old landfill sitesEnvironmental campaigners dub the 1,572 locations across Wales 'ticking time bombs'. 'Mustard gas, other warfare chemicals' of course, MoD wouldn't dump stuff like this on their own doorstep... There was a time we burned our rubbish to produce electricity, and we recycled as the daily norm, but greedy so called 'green' companies scam money from our governments in so called 'green' technology that cost more then the energy that is actually produced. And guess who pays? Governments should be clamping down on the amount of wrappings & packaging we have to take home from shopping, it's a joke, and Amazon who use boxes and packaging that out ways the cost of an item some times. and as for recycling that's the biggest joke going.

Deliveroo dampens IPO expectations as investors raise workers' rights concernsTakeaway delivery firm says it will price shares towards bottom of planned range These types of companies are based on a gig economy which gives no protection for worker’s rights, pensions, sick/holiday pay etc. Of course, it suits some people & I’m sure the law could clearly define those roles. But for those who do this full time, then they are employees. I’m back with smile on my face again thanks to marksust6 I don’t know what to say I was skeptical but I am proud to let the world know that you’re the reason behind my successful trades life!!🙏🙏🙏🙏 God bless you for your good work Investors are always concerned about workers having rights. Slavery would make stocks skyrocket
