The conservatives are quite clear; they want to scrap Business Link. [We Need To Halt Meddling] Not quite sure what they will do with the money but that’s the world of politics and promises... to buy votes – or is it?
I asked for a show of hands at the Small Firms Summit in Burnley.
Who wanted to keep the Business Links? 45 hands went up
Who wanted to get rid of them? 5 hands went up
Who didn’t care? 70 hands went up
Again the ‘don’t cares’ represent the majority – the silent/disinterested majority.
I don’t mind people being 'for' or 'against', but 'not caring' is a problem.
Without starting on the “small businesses are the backbone...” monologue I must say that I am disappointed that so many people just don’t seem to care that much.
