A2Zee is on a name-and-shame list of 25 employers just issued. Under new legislation employers could be liable for up to a £20,000 fine per employee. That's a potential £280,000 - gasp - if it were to fall under the new rules! A2Zee also falls into the top twelve under-payers on the government's list, by exceeding the four-figure mark. However they fail to name a football club and other high-profile employers underpaying quite substantial amounts, explaining "we would only name businesses in exceptional circumstances". Quite how this squares with naming some small firms for very modest underpayments is yet to be explained. The company - which appears to be being operated from a private terraced house - has very little presence on the internet, until now! http://www.192.com/atoz/business/cramlington-ne23/sc/a2zee-construction-ltd/f77b72077258987d59c2e8ac003704e2064d81f7/comp/ It was incorporated on the 18th July 2012 as a joinery installation business, and its accounts appear to be current. Unfortunately bright Beeb journos seem to have renamed it A2ZEE Constriction - a Freudian slip, or just more social engineering? Despite the American-sounding name there appears to be no connection with a US outfit using the same moniker.

England shafted once again by our politicos! All the economic indications are that the Clyde shipyards are unviable, and BAE had obviously already decided that. But... blatantly obvious behind-the-scenes political interference dictates that 500 years of shipbuilding at Portsmouth has to end to buy the Scottish Independence Referendum! If Scotland thinks it can do better without us then let them get on with it; it would be a great day for the rest of the UK if greedy Salmond were to get his stupid way. He doesn't want UK military bases, so why should he have the industrial benefits of UK defence? If he wants his hands on those declining oil revenues, then how about paying the UK taxpayer back the billions they sunk into the rescue of Scottish banks? Shame on you Tory, LD and Labour schemers - you don't deserve a single vote between the lot of you!
