windae cleaner Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 7 hours ago, Dickson said: It's not a surprise. To my mind they have done it wrong, as have we in the UK. It's the stupidity of trying to manage the virus using country borders. In Italy their healthcare system was overwhelmed in the North where the hot spot was. In the south their healthcare isn't so good and - as with all governments their intention was to "flatten the curve" to ease pressure on their healthcare system - so what the Italian government decided to do was to lock down the whole country. The thing is 450 miles away in the Molise region there has only been 127 confirmed cases of Coronavirus compared to 41.007 in Lombardy. To lock down the Molise Region for the last three weeks looks utterly futile and stupid. Whilst a lock down in Lombardy made perfect sense, it was quite obviously way too early to lock down Molise. In the UK we've done the same thing. We've chosen to lock down the whole of the UK despite the fact that the hot spots are clearly in London and Birmingham. Quite why the Highlands - 42 positive cases so far; Borders - 50 positive cases so far; Fife - 58 positive cases so far; Dumfries and Galloway - 63 confirmed cases; or Shetlands - 24 positive case so far is something only the Scottish Government knows! It seems bonkers to treat those vast areas - Highlands is 9,906 sq mi - in the same way as you would the tiny landmass that London sits - 607 sq mi - on where 5,299 positive cases have been detected so far! We do as Westminister tells us. Anyway what about the Germans doing half a million tests a WEEK That's how you get better results about dealing with it Instead of dealing with the rich and famous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Nice to see them rich football players and clubs in England doing plenty of work for local communities. Covering a wide range of people, schoolkids to the elderly. Wonder if they've received my begging letter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W6er Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Package for the self-employed announced: Quote How do I qualify? The scheme is accessible to self-employed people with a trading profit of less than £50,000 in 2018-2019, or an average annual trading profit of less than £50,000 from 2016 to 2019. To qualify more than half of a self-employed person's income in these periods must come from self-employment. Only those who are already in self-employment will qualify for the grant – the Chancellor said this was to prevent fraudulent claims. When will I get help? The grant will be paid in June in single lump sum instalments covering three months. The HMRC will use the average trading profits from tax returns in 2016-2017, 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 to determine the size of the grant.

W6er Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Just now, faraway saint said: Wasn't this announced last week? I don't think the particulars had been announced, as the article was only published this morning. For example: Quote What if I haven't made any profits? Unfortunately, you won't qualify for the grant. The same is true for those that are newly unemployed and that haven't filed any tax returns yet. What happens if my profits came to £50,001? Unfortunately, you will not qualify, as help only applies to those with profits less than £50,000. Anyone with trading profits over that amount won't get the grant. The £50,000 cut-off is one of the strange elements of the scheme and will exclude many self-employed people who are not particularly wealthy and may be their families sole or main breadwinner. Even if they aren't their income is often essential for household finances. Self employed workers, from plumbers and electricians, to management consultants, photographers and freelance designers could end up being hit by this. If they earn over £50,000, they get no help at all. Family's - bah! I feel like writing a letter of complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The help will prove invaluable for many, but while it has been broadly welcomed, there has also been criticism of gaps within it. So, if you are self-employed can you get help? We explain.

faraway saint Posted March 30, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Lots of pictures appearing of the fcuk wits who stockpiled food having to cram it into the bin. Probably the same arseholes who were taking pictures of empty shelves. Only small consolation is they've wasted money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
