Such bullshit. Firms should be paying the 20% themselves.

Speak for yourself, no one is paying me not to work. Grumble grumble.

Wore 9 didn’t he?

Will stop for you, know the feeling. As soon as lockdown was announced my ex was trying to claim I couldn’t see the kids for 3 weeks, it’s a shitty time mate hope you’re OK. Of course you could try what she did when I had to self isolate a couple of weeks ago and everyone self isolate as one...

Its really bad reporting. It’s a different group at Imperial who aren’t epidemiologists and it assumes we follow the same curve as China which is frankly ridiculous. For one their numbers aren’t likely to be accurate and for two we aren’t about to weld people into their homes. And for three we...

The right wing over there are all currently misreading the Imperial paper thinking it says the original estimate was wrong and we’re only likely to get 20k deaths. Rather than that’s the estimate of what we’ll do if we follow social distancing.

Oh. Well still let’s hope it’s a blip. At worst the rate in increase has stalled.

That’s different to the general uniform isn’t it?

New York is going to be screwed if London is anything to go by, though at least it’s quite easy to cut off and police entry if needed.

This is a really interesting document from the Resolution Foundation on tax: https://www.resolutionfoundation.org/app/uploads/2019/11/The-shifting-shape-of-UK-tax.pdf Has this chart in:
