      Oh just wait for the depression that makes 1929 look like a picnic. Its going to be brutal.


      All the things they could of done with millions of workers during the downtime and they fed them Stella.

        Millions of people getting 80% for doing **** all. While all the contractors that I know are working their asses off at 50% reduced rate or worse.

        Can we simply increase our director’s salary and put ourselves on furlough, in such a way to maximise the available free cash? Because this furlough BS is really getting ridiculously unfair at this point.

          You can try but you might end up meeting with a guy who had personally met Sir Phillip Green and even did some business with him

                It's a shame that companies which didn't take furlough payments originally are now excluded from claiming. So they battled on and didn't claim a bail out but, now they're suffering from a second lock down, they're told to eff off.

                    The HMRC website isn't yet updated. What evidence do you have of that?
