Bust-up with the boss?

Workers accused of theft or damage could soon find themselves blacklisted on a register to be shared among employers. It will be good for profits but campaigners say innocent people could find it impossible to get another job.

...

An online database of workers accused of theft and dishonesty, regardless of whether they have been convicted of any crime, which bosses can access when vetting potential employees.

...

Set up by Surrey-based firm Hicom Business Solutions, the database will allow employers to search for potential workers by name, address, date of birth, national insurance number and previous employer.

Records on individuals - accessible online via an encrypted password system - will be kept for a five-year period and can include photos.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with the UK? It's like all of a sudden they've gone all crazy. One camera for every four people, no right to self defense, insane gun happy government enforcers, gleeful deportations of people to their deaths, and now joyous collusion of corporations to oppress workers for the hell of it.

Seriously, :wtf:? Doesn't this seem a bit whacked?

1. Unbelievable, Brit sheeple are even stupider than the American sheeple

The sun may or may not have set on the English empire, but it has definitely set on the British people. There is nothing they won't take.

Corporations lie like fish swim. There is no due process within a company, there is no penalty for management lying. Corporations run on the efficiency principal, on the chain of command. To my experience, each link lies at will, the company protects those lies and the law is silent on them. This database is designed to make wage slaves into actual slaves. Elitopaths on the move.
