Coronavirus

no i understand that. I'm all in agreement with your 1000 quid a month UBI proposal for this period. You were talking about scrapping other benefits and having a UBI going forward though (and looney)

 

that's a fair point. I'm assuming people with kids willl get a little bit extra though? maybe not the full whack

 

Thought Fiona Bruce/Mavis Riley handled the Gammon audience on QT superbly tonight, for once. Normally it's like chucking out time at 'Spoons.

 

If you give the rabble £1000 a month atm, they'll spend it on bog rolls and tinned tomatoes.

 

For this situation I don't agree, the fastest way to help those suddenly out of a job is by tax refunds .

Anything else is going to add complexity and delay.

 

Exactly, I'm not really for helping anyone that is panic buying bog roll in some of the quantities that have been mentioned by the media, they clearly have too much money at their disposal if that over-rides the priority of food......oh yeah pasta....ffs

 

Matt Hancock is frighteningly unimpressive. How the **** did he end up in the position he's in? Surely there's better talent within the party ie a Sulak for the NHS?

 

Make more sense to deliver meals and necessities to the vulnerable and the elderly.

Covering a percentage of payrolls via reverse payments on PAYE isn’t the same as implementing UBI though is it.

 

I've just checked his biography. On an academic scale he's off the chart.

 

Most of the talent in that party has left after the pusch. Boris is totally exposed: all the Churchillian mannerisms and speech patterns, but he's as close to Churchill as a nodding dog on the back seat of a car.

 

He’s got all the charisma of a white dog turd though.

 

This is just so wrong. Really hope it makes a few stop and think

 

Or a Milky Bar, as Saxton would call it. Sorry, wrong thread...

 

Question Time today has been very refreshing. Good open conversation with both sides agreeing on a lot of stuff and being very respectful when disagreeing or offering alternatives. How nice to see a political discussion that was conducted in such a healthy way for once after so long of everyone being at each other throats. Not sure if the lack of audience contributed or not but it’s good to see people coming together and showing each other respect when faced with a difficult situation for the country.

Well done Burnham, Hancock and the other panel members.

 

At this time it effectively is a UBI for taxpayers.

My original point was about using the fastest method to support those affected by Corona virus.

 

But has somebody been assigned to take that standard seaside scenery shot with a rock in the foreground and post it on The Burley Arms Thread if you are not fit to do it?

i suspect that many people on here will not be able to get through their isolation period without that to look forward to.

 

Serious stuff now in Asda stores Hull .!!
