    Not so - The furlough scheme ended in June. So if your inside-IR35 contract ended after that and you've been sitting on your arse ever since then you're plumb out of luck!

    I've been working my arse off I'll have you know. Those £50 bottles of Dettol didn't send themselves.

    FFS! Everyone else is trying to work their arses off, while some get to stay at home, not pay for transport, not have to pay to go out. eat out etc, exercise, learn new things, **** off to Spain and bring stuff back, and still get paid 2/3 of their wages for staying at home! While those with Ltd get **** all! Bollocks.

    Stayed in contract all year, got IR35 shifted back a year, got up an hour later day and finished an hour earlier every day, no expenses so richer. I went on holiday to Spain, empty flights, quiet beaches and less dickheads around.

    I look forward, I adapt, I’m not a sheep(regardless of name), and I don’t whinge on forums(much).

    Covid sucks.. I get it. But we’re contractors. Never ever expected government would give us anything.

    Get the point about the lazy bastards. That’s why they live in crapholes.

    Aren't you an employee of the limited company that you put in the cat's name at the start of Covid-19?

    Thing is, if you constantly worry/get angry over everything (you think is) wrong that you can't control you'd go mad. Worry about what you can control, let go of what you can't.

    If we start enumerating all the things that are wrong with the neo-feudalism that we live in I think we’d all loose the will to work / live.
