Anecdotal evidence means nothing to me, Ali. I can respond to you by quoting anecdotes, too, but I won't. I have worked for and keep contact with many big companies here, including multi- nationals. It's not just you who does, Ali.
I'm not saying it shouldn't be kept going but it will be off the front pages and people move on. The ESL was a bad, ill-conceived idea built on ignoring the competitiveness of the sport and was roundly rejected in the space of 48 hrs because everyone agreed, Where as this there is division along political lines and where things are divided it carrys on.
SEISS help scheme of 80% of lost profits paid by HMRC available plus Council grants and rates grants. Roughly similar to furlough for employees.
Real case evidence means more to me than stuff trotted out in the Manchester Guardian Indo but please do carry on reading. I don't imagine the big companies operating in Indonesia are assiduous users of the UK furlough scheme.
Please see my reply to AU. Lots of help for the self employed but some needy case slip through the complicated and often illogical qualifying rules.
Sleaze is not a matter of political lines. It's morally wrong whatever your political leanings. I can't prove it to you, but if this was a Labour Govt or Liberal or whatever I would be equally annoyed
You obviously chose to ignore my comment that I have actually worked for many large companies here, including large oil companies such as Total, major banks, et Al and still keep in contact with many of their employees. You think you're the only bloke in the world that has had such contact. And I actually was employed on a permanent basis by them, not just servicing them.
That's why the rest of us should have our say on whether the feckers should be given the The Elbow. Remove Barnett and I might vote to let the miserable whingers stay; if they want to.
Unfortunately it does go along political lines, Politicians know their worth to businesses that's why they do it, It is morally wrong but if you stood as a candidate on an anti-sleaze line you wouldn't even get your deposit back and if one of the major parties did the same, They couldn't because there is enough evidence to show they all eat from the same trough, Its just the Tories are mostly in power and big business leaders in the main vote Tory.
