Single income family in London might disagree with you TBF. That’s what? £30k/year? (I assume this is pre tax)
Click to expand...
Yeah tbf London's a special case though, isn't it, and probably needs some weighting, anyway.

(Jobs in my sector in London can sometimes start beneath that, mind you!)

Could well be coming again mate. Only minor benefit is the low (free) cost of long term government borrowing. No doubt this will be painful for all but let’s get through this first

I think they are hoping companies still pick up the 20% balance David

don't think there's much chance of wankers like Branson and Martin doing that though. Hopefully others will.

Love this quote :

Boris Johnson says he "doesn't want to get into moral name calling" and accepts that "what we're doing is extraordinary" by taking away the right of British people "to go to the pub".

"I understand how people feel," he adds.

But, he says to those "who go against the clear advice" from experts, that they would not only be putting their lives and their families' lives at risk - but "you're endangering the community" and making it harder to help the NHS and save lives.

That's the point. Also a lot of companies that now have no income can't afford the 20% of payroll.

Gawd love ya Steve. I know we won’t agree but don’t worry, the economy will boom after this from feel good factor alone, I’m not worried. Debt will skyrocket everywhere and we’ll pay it off over a hundred years or more and inflation and growth will reduce it. As long as we don’t cut demand from the economy through austerity. Trust in Keynes.

Many can do though (not bars, restaurants etc obviously) but I’d hope many can afford the top up

not heard much to disagree with. I'm sure once someone clever gets into the detail of the financial packages they'll be a few gripes but I think it all sounds fairly reasonable. Closing the pubs and restaurants had to happen in my opinion.

Said it would happen. We are still running a week behind France. Next will come lockdown. This weekend if the same timescale is kept to.

Ironically I've now got watery eyes, blotchy /itchy skin, bit of a runny nose...

No dry cough, temperature, or anything however.

I'd muse on the irony if my household ends up laid low with some other disease!

Suspect however it might be being stuck in the same place all the time, and some mild allergy to something flaring up - will open lots of windows over the weekend and stand in the garden like a dipstick.

Bizarre. I’ve come down with headache, runny eyes and nose and a cough. No high temp. But what’s thrown me is your reference to red and blotchy skin. I have a rash on my inner arm that has come up out of nowhere, red itchy and blotchy.

actually probably more as it is 80% of gross
also, less to spend their money on, no transport requirements etc
I suspect most could survive on 80% of gross in the current conditions

Of course most people could survive on 80% of their wages, it’s not like they are giving you 10% is it there nearly covering all wages
