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.

 

[David O'Day]

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.

Their gonna need more than 20k troops to keep people in if we go into lock down can’t see it being enforced tbh they can try tho

Yeah, also Paddington on the bench

You not been looking at the posts from PVA?

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.

Why are you so angry? I don’t get it cut them some fucking slack, they are covering 80% not 10%

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.

Nah, like the “there’ll be Brexit riots” lot, most of the frothers are all mouth and no trousers.

Welcome to the world of pub lock ins behind closed curtains....

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.

franchise bastards!

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.

If you live in Binley, we've our own mini outbreak.

 

[Tommo1993]

Big time recession...I can smell it. Probably just the mrs.

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

There will be if they do nothing to stimulate the economy.

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.

Bit harsh, he obviously loves her

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Oh dear, mate corbyn lost get over it you are still sore

No I’m just commenting that you are now praising the sort of thing that would normally come from the left.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Let’s give boris and the government some credit now, there really going to help everybody out..... credit where it’s due

Universal credit

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Do you agree that credit is due pal? 80% is high I didn’t even think they would cover that

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Universal credit

I think that will also get raised within the next week

 

[lifeskyblue]

Unbelievable that a British government has taken these measures...that it is a Tory government taking them I just can’t get my head around it.

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.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Just like those famous post war austerity years...wait.

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

 

[clint van damme]

the chancellor just turned us in to a socialist country, he won!

So there really is a magic money tree after all!

Correct.
