Coronavirus

Bet it worked though.

 

You really are quite possibly the biggest twat I’ve eve had the displeasure of coming across. I hope you get it. At your age and weight it will probably kill you. Only issue is you’d probably think **** all of it and pass it on to some old grannies whose number you got from a gig. Just **** off you fat imbecile

 

I’m hoping that Sunak makes a major announcement about supporting company payrolls tomorrow.
As otherwise, there’s going to mass lay offs / redundancies after the month end.

Leaving aside the actual virus itself, the clinical view and the human cost of the thing. Make no mistake, this is now an economic crisis the like of which we’ve not seen in Peacetime. Having spent the week immersed in spreadsheets, cashflow forecasts and endless conference calls, I’ve not spoken to a single peer who isn’t resigned to having to letting people go in the coming days / weeks. The numbers are going to be absolutely astronomical, without a massive Govt intervention.

 

What's with people on social media tagging themselves as some kind of hero because they can't stay at home?

#****ers

 

You still on about that cat?

EDit: Wrong person

 

Brutal

 

Your second part , yes it will get horrid . Lots of local independent shops / traders will have zero chance of recovery .

Now Clarke’s shoes have announced they are closing all shops .Not redundancies yet , closing for protective reasons , but it will end in tears unless the Govt do something massive and now .

 

Maybe, I'm not really sure to be honest I've just played Xbox for 8 hours straight and I'm not sure if you're part of the cult of Kosmos and that I should be killing you right now or not.

 

Just seen this pop up from the Times mate, hopefully he is going to do something to help towards your concerns...

On a lighter note. I’m up to 56 cans of Guinness in the fridge. Lacking in bog paper but if I’m locked in I’m happy to shower after every ****.

Got wine and cheese today. Found my bookers card. Wholesalers they said they open at 7:30 and within ten mins the asian shop owners have cleared the lot. Some of the ****s are popping the multi packs and selling a roll individually for £5 . There is now a Facebook page naming all the shops that are doing it. Will give it a week before they’ve all been burnt to the ground.

 

Just in case you can't read it;

Business, trade unions and senior Tories have urged Rishi Sunak swiftly to deliver a massive package of wage subsidies and tax cuts as the coronavirus pandemic threatens millions of jobs, with swaths of companies facing imminent ruin.

The chancellor is expected to announce “unprecedented” measures to support companies and their employees on Friday, in addition to this week’s promise of £20bn of direct support for business and a £330bn loan guarantee scheme.

Boris Johnson said he hoped Mr Sunak would have a “great package ready to go” and vowed that the government would prioritise help for those people worst affected, arguing that in the financial crisis of 2008 the banks appeared to have more state protection than ordinary workers.

Mr Johnson told companies: “Stand by your employees, stand by your workers, because we will stand by you.” So far, employers in the leisure and hospitality sectors — among the ones most exposed to the shutdown of social activities — have laid off more than 200,000 people with millions of others at risk.

Crisis talks in the Treasury between the chancellor and business and union leaders continued into Thursday evening, with participants saying that Mr Sunak was serious about setting up a scheme of wage subsidies. The chancellor acknowledged that the government was in a race against time to stop companies collapsing and hundreds of thousands of workers losing their jobs.

“A lot of businesses are hours, not days, away from collapse,” said one person present at the talks. “It’s critical that we get cash to them now.”

Mr Sunak is considering a range of radical options, including tax holidays for companies or reversing the pay-as-you-earn tax system so that the government picks up some or all of the wage bill for companies that keep on staff.

One person said that the meeting covered the possibility of deferring of PAYE, VAT and other taxes and the prospect of the government underwriting wages. Mr Sunak agreed that money had to get to the front line immediately.

“We are working around the clock to deliver further support to individuals and families whose jobs and incomes will be affected by Covid-19,” Mr Sunak said.

The chancellor’s earlier support package for business, notably the offer of loan guarantees, has been criticised by some Tory MPs as insufficient to persuade companies to retain workers as the virus bites.

 

Should be illegal.

 

People thinking that is just a few weeks of disruption and inconvenience and then it’ll all end and it’ll all be back to normal again, are absolutely oblivious to the fiscal reality.

We’re a consumer lead economy, the huge numbers of people hitting the ranks of the unemployed combined with likely even more who’ll be forced to live largely off their savings as it stands, means that when the restrictions are finally lifted then there’ll be far less money sloshing around the economy, and the recovery period is highly likely to be long. No pressure Rishi.

 

I think they’ll throw the kitchen sink at this. We’re talking millions of unemployed if they don’t.

 

They’ll either get robbed or their shop will be burnt or smashed to bits. The daft ****s that are doing it are all on the periphery of the worst council estate. They must have balls of steel or guns.

 

I bloody well hope so .

 

Will try an find it. Saw it before I went dog walking. Can’t remember what it’s called. Been looking for it during the last 5 cans.
