    I’m betting Another 6 months furlough is on the cards. Poor little lambs.

    That is a registration of death you daft fookwits.

    Feel free to check the cumulative deaths that have not increased since July the 5th.

    “ Sunak Told Ending Furlough Puts 2 Million Viable Jobs in Peril

    Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak is putting 2 million viable jobs in peril by ending his coronavirus jobs support program too early, risking an unnecessary unemployment crisis, according to a think tank.“

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...premium-europe

    A fair, easy, good for taxpayer and honest solution would have been to get the beneficiary of furlough to repay via extra tax like with the student debt - then people can decide if it’s worth for THEM to stay in furlough

    I suspect that would happen as it seems like the only way to renew furlough till March-April

    Hasn't been a COVID death in Scotland in over 4 weeks. I believe it takes on average 3 weeks till death so we are probably looking at nearly 2 months ago when the last fatal transmission took place.

    Yet springy neck Sturgeon is on BBC one every day for 30 minutes trying to look like an asteroid is about to wipe out Falkirk. Telling people they can't go to the pub over and over each day is a lot easier than explaining why of the 2 kids hospitals they have built, one can't open and the other is killing the patients.

    Evidently not enough to get ministroke to buy into theory that Covid isn’t just a flu

    I guess when the flu season starts he’d be insisting that people who had covid and flu at the same time not counted as dead from Covid

    Plenty of large, densely populated countries have got through this without nationalising the workforce for 6 months.

    The furlough should have been for a few weeks until we got our tulip together. A soon as we knew the hospitals could handle volume ( we knew that in May ) everyone should have been back to work.

    I've seen many business lines that reply upon a number of participants not being able to start up again as someone has cash flow issues and just cant go back to 100%. So everyone is screwed.

    Anyway, I'm off to the pub to do my bit.
