Deposits now need to be bigger
Job prospects clear as mud
Whole economy in peril from inevitable second wave

And Tories want people to buy a house?

There are lot of people on the sidelines waiting to buy a house since Jan.

For maximum impact, the best time for doom posts is Monday morning!

For AtW every day is doom day

Restaurants won't be 'packed'. They might be full but they can't hold as many diners as before. So even when they're full distancing is in effect.

And I don't think everyone is going to rush out for £10 saving. It will just hopefully encourage more people to eat out. Many will stay home.

If we all stay home, the economy is dead.

You also don't need to take any precautions: https://www.contractoruk.com/forums/...tsu-curry.html

Yeh. Sell off our gold reserves at low price, raid people's pensions, fiddle continuously with CT. Are you (slightly) serious Dim?

Come back Gordon Brown, you are a genius compared to these

No, it won’t be safe now on Mon-Wed, which used to be quiet days in the past, now places will be packed for a month - just like in US big spike will come 5-6 weeks later.

Start getting ready for new lockdown people, this one will last longer.

Nope they're trying to get people to go out AT ALL so restaurants don't collapse. Many are sitting totally empty so far.

If a restaurant employs sensible precautions it's pretty safe

Also - £ 10 discount on meals only if you eat in, they are really trying to pack people for a month to get to herd immunity, no VAT discount on booze too - so no real help to pubs

Tory con for sure, and malicious one at that - get prepped for new lockdown in October (if not earlier)

Buying a house is a luxury right now, much more sensible to rent in short term

There's a sigma about renting in some circles which is a bit silly. Nothing at all wrong with renting if you're not sure what your future holds... Or even as a lifestyle choice.

Of course with interest rates as they are, buying in a few months night be a smart investment.

Looks like 3% “additional rate” stamp duty for second houses is still due, Tory con as usual
