So basically everyone in the gig economy and on a zero contract gets 92 quid a week.

I can’t knock what they’ve announced tonight. Takes some of the pressure of Joe Public in these trying times.

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

No they can't, a lot of people can barely survive in their wages and are working poor.

You haven't got a fucking clue

Absolute nonsense, a large proportion could afford the basics on 80% of their wage.

I don’t think he’s said we should be in lockdown weeks ago. He’s said we should be doing more social distancing earlier so we don’t need to. Could have misread though.

How? It will likely not save that many jokes as the lost jobs would be in the leisure industry and these employers couldn't afford the 30 percent payroll even if the employees would have a guaranteed hours contract. Lots of people still only get 92 quid a week and fuck all rent protection

To be honest the real worry isn’t so much the basics but by cutting things out demand will fall across the economy and cost jobs elsewhere. Like the issue with deaths from lack of NHS capacity, it’s the side effects of this that’ll be really harmful.

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.

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.

You really are a clueless c**t. A lot of people live hand to mouth even if they are lucky to have a guaranteed hours contract. Theres not bill or rent relief so if you struggled on 100 percent of your wages you will struggle even more on 80 percent. To say there aren't lots of people who work but still struggle to pay the bills is bollocks

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.

not really relevant but that is going to open up a massive can of worms at work, and seen as I will be losing my job later in the year one that will give me a lot of amusement.

Buddy I think you’ll agree I have been trying to be as fair to them as possible and I’ve had a fair bit of flak for that. I like what they are doing about this but you’ve also got to admit that this type of idea is usually coming from the left and you used to say it was fantasy.

It’s ok- the brexiteers kept saying they longed for the Dunkirk spirit and they easily got by on rationing & it made them stronger, they’re gonna get their chance now and so far all they’ve done is bulldoze their way through Asda fighting over pasta
