    Totally agree about the furlough scheme. Great idea on paper but abused by unscrupulous employers

    Peoples savings went up? Mine certainly didnt and i dont know a single person who didnt dip into them (if they had any). How do you know people on benefits didnt need that extra 20 quid? My mother works for a charity helping these people, it was needed more than ever! And its needed even more so now!

    But hey wages are going up. Sis in laws pathetic pay increase is now just about swallowed by the NIC increase, cost of living, energy bills, fuel rises, food rises.

    But the rises you mention aren’t due to Brexit but instead down to the Tories ?
    Whereas the wage rise in certain sectors is most definitely down to Brexit.
    The two things are completely different.

    Been a long day! But yeah, the brexit bonus of wage increases has been snatched away before anyone can benefit from them anyway, with all the rising increases. I always recall Reece Mogg saying that we wouldnt see any brexit benefits for 50 plus years, well we ****in wont with these twats in charge!

    Agreed Bob. That’s why we can all concentrate on defeating the real enemy.

    Depends for who fellow bob.

    Middle class office workers and companies that are did okay, all those people have saved loads. Save on travelling, save on meals out, saved on all the holidays they would have typically taken.

    The underclass and lower class and anyone who lost their job obviously didn't save. Small businesses tend to have lost out too (retails etc). I would say takeaways/catering businesses has increased for those out in the sticks whereas those in the city lost out. Anything dining in obviously took big hits

    Just to add, this is seen in why everything is going up. Obviously the supply side has issues in terms of getting stuff delivered (freight costs more, lack of drivers etc, paperwork for EU goods) but the demand has also shot up on things like house renovations, people buying new houses etc. That's cause a bunch of people have been growing their pots big

    Turkey is just a **** version of chicken. Anyway that woman would have found an angle to stitch him up, he was right not to fall into a trap so obvious Wile E Coyote would have dismissed it.
