Richard Tice’s criticism of the Bank of England for allowing employees to work from overseas was a self-own visible from Dubai
We cross now to Operation Stop Talking About Financial Scandals, where we find Reform UK’s Richard Tice complaining about the Bank of England’s employment policies – or one, in particular.

Note the question mark. That’ll be there so he can use the old ‘Just asking questions’ line when people point out that statistics show people are more productive working from home, and it doesn’t increase IT costs.
They weren’t the only issues people had with Tice’s comments. There was also the embarrassing fact that his fiancée Isabel Oakeshott lives in Dubai, and works remotely for TalkTV, and Tice has confirmed that he splits his time between the UK and her home in UAE.
The replies were brutal.

Not clear to me how there'd be any extra IT costs, let alone vast ones? https://t.co/BWlQsdRYMd
