The money is for people who can't work because the govt has told them to shut.
Everybody else is in the same boat, enjoy the rest.

No. The money is for people who would have been laid off by their companies. Instead the government is giving the grant to the companies to keep them on. Its not just companies who have been told to shut down. The thing is, the scheme has only been announced. It wont be operational and accepting requests until April, and will pay out later than that. You're talking 5 or 6 weeks until anyone sees any money. Most likely we'll all be in Dantes f**k**g inferno by that time anyway. I don't know if you've seen the film The Road, but something like that. So, everyone isn't in the same boat. Sole traders and contract workers have been treated with contempt. Their reasoning being it would be too complicated to assess their income. Which is b*ll***s. They could use self assessment. '
 
Ok so somebody who has taken it all in. Can anyone explain what position, as sole traders with 1-2 employees for example, we stand in?
Can we get this 80% employee pay thing? Do we get anything or is it tough s**t, they’re looking after the big employers?
Thanks in advance

Go online to your mortgage provider and cancel this and the next two months mortgage payments you get no penalties for this and it does not effect your credit rating , you can also apply for £94.50 a week sick pay right now , I’m hoping in the next few days they release more information about a better deal for sole traders but right now these are your top priorities mate

They'll be over it and I can't see them dragging payments out, I guess it will be clearer next week. The crump of comfort is it won't be like normal dealing with hmrc i.e. Being passed around when you dealing with them, it effects millions of people so you think they'd be all over it.

People still need somewhere to live etc, still going to need massive amounts of new builds and the like, mortgages are cheap. it’s not like recession of the 90s when interest rates were 12% or 2008 went banks went bust, or maybe I’m a glass half full sort of fella and not doom mongering. If plastering doesn’t pay the bills, do something else. In 2009 I had to go van driving for a living when I lost plastering contracts on new builds.

I think yous are not looking at the facts economicaly.there has been nothing like this since the second world war.any recession you have seen is a walk in the park.do you realise what % of uk gdp he has just pumped in,and he aint finished. The usa is looking at a 25% fall back and thats conservative with the virus not even any where what it will do.its a depression not a recession we are looking at.please dig me up in a couple of weeks and lets see where we are please,or a month i will love to apologise.their is not one reputable economic reporter saying this is like anything since the great depression that started in1929.
