Discrimination raises controversy

Everybody has read about cases of high settlements to people against whom there has been discrimination - well, here's what happens if there's a suspicion the evidence was false, according to The Guardian. Also in the Guardian is a piece on how much people are earning using online services to run businesses, and of course speculation on oil prices remains a hot topic. Guardian stablemate The Observer carried criticisms of Gordon Brown from the CBI and a piece on selling in America.

Today's Independent also carries a piece in which the CBI bemoans elements of the system - you see a pattern emerging here? - while the same paper carries a piece on preventing identity theft through sharing data. The Daily Telegraph also notes the CBI criticisms.

The Times has a piece on confidence being shaken by the July bombings - not an unexpected effect, you'll understand - and a piece on how UK firms are going to have to fight for e-mail and Web addresses that end with .eu when they emerge.

The Daily Telegraph has a piece on small business incubators taking too much time and money for too little return. Its small business section also has items on electronic returns, criticisms of the Regional Development Agencies and online fraudsters, and is well worth reading.

And the Mail on Sunday has invented a new word - Stagflation. This happens when unemployment and inflation increase at the same time.
