As for the big motor firms, they aim to put the entire burden of the crises on the soulders of the workers. They have made hundreds of millions of pounds in profits since the war. Yet at the first sign of difficulties they sack workers right and left. (‘Daily Worker’) — Что касается крупных автомобильных фирм, то они стремятся переложить все бремя кризисов на плечи рабочих.

And now you're just letting them rob you right and left. (J. London, ‘Burning Daylight’, part I, ch. XI) —...я тебя знал семь лет, и до сего дня ты мне всегда казался человеком разумным.

Police made much of the fact that for the past eighteen months Arlene Duvall had been living a life of leisure, spending money right and left with carefree abandon, money which she certainly had not earned and the possession of which she ‘could not explain.’ (E.
