I don't know anything about Damo's (un)employment history so I can't really comment on his situation, but someone being on the dole doesn't necessarily make them a sponger, and there being vacancies at a workplace doesn't necessarily mean that an individual will be able to get a job there.

Bearing that in mind it might be worth looking at the article in the YEP.

Indeed. Damo will need to sell at least 260 shirts just to pay his wage for half a year, and that's without paying the costs associated with producing and selling those shirts. I dont think VAT is an issue as I think there is a threshold on how much a "company" has to make or be forecasted to make before VAT kicks in.
National Insurance may be an issue though, and Damo probably should register with HMRC.

This is not a result – it is bad career planning.

There are people in the world that earn more in one hour than what you’ve earned for working over 400 hours.

You’re not intrigued whatsoever. You are just looking at ways to attack my enterprise from every possible angle. I wouldn’t put it pass you to buy a t-shirt just so you can find (You won’t) or make fault with it.

I have a Nephew who never wants to work his way from the Bottom Up, and wants to rub shoulders with Celebrities.

He has Aspergers.

I think we will leave it here.
