People who don’t have pretty special aptitude towards driving HGVs should not be given license to do so - it’s like going back to draft - will get riff-raff with guns training

I'm sure the Mercedes dealer and your insurer have similar opinions.

First they came after milkshakes, but vetran did not care

Any company not preparing for the end of furlough, in the hope that it will be extended, is being run by idiots. The end date has not exactly been shrouded in secrecy. You'd hope these companies have done the sums of how much it'll cost to pay redundancy to those that have been furloughed.

The government should also be prepared that there may well be a rise in unemployment when furlough ends because the scheme was supporting unviable jobs. If that comes as a surprise to Dishy then he's an idiot too.

The scheme has been winding up with companies required to contribute more towards the payments so what more transition is needed?

This is the point any normal business plans for change, its obvious hauliers, farming and meat processing haven't I remember meetings in 2017-2019 where large organisations realised all their low paid workers were from the EU it was raised as the major risk of brexit now they are hoping the government will grant lots of visas.

You remember Andrew Lloyd Webber's opening the theatre against lockdown provisions & the government U-turn. Watch how they bend over for 1.9million voters on the dole.

Well on furlough the employer contributes 20% up until September I would have ramped it to 60/80% over time combined with retraining and job creation so we don't have a massive lump of redundancies at the end of September. Imagine being on furlough and being offered free HGV training etc.?

I thought the Furlough was ending, end of September though?????

Boris Johnson and Chancellor Rishi Sunak both said recently that they do not want to extend furlough again.

"On the basis of what we can see now in the data... we don't think we'll need to change," the Prime Minister said on 14 June.

But if the data changes, and a large new wave of infections leads to further restrictions, the government will come under a lot of pressure to reconsider.
Will unemployment rise after furlough ends?


Some employers with workers on furlough may find that they cannot afford to keep them on.

International travel, and other businesses which depend on it, are still seriously disrupted. Some furloughed workers in these areas may lose their jobs.

Many forecasters, including those at the Bank of England and the government's spending watchdog, the Office for Budget Responsibility, are expecting a small rise in unemployment after furlough ends.

I suspect it will be extended a bit upsetting 1.9 million voters would be hard to defend.

According to the most recent figures (up to 30 June):

• About 1.9 million were on furlough (down from a peak of 5.1m in January)
• About 28% of employers had staff on furlough, down from 30% at the end of May
• There are now more men on furlough than women (960,000 men versus 880,000 women)
• The accommodation and food services sector saw the biggest reduction in the number of jobs on furlough in June (down 291,900)
• Arts and entertainment saw the highest rate of jobs being put on furlough in June

They really need to transition those still on furlough.

Because their Milkshakes won't bring the boys to the yard?

Damn right.....

[NotAllThere]

when you've been useless your entire life but still get decent money (or better than min wage) you grow a sense of entitlement.
you question how it is that you are useless(you probably know it inside of you) but still mildly successful - so you start to believe that you are actually good at something.

Nice bit of self-reflection there. Very healthy to be so honest about yourself. Well done!

Back on topic, Nigel Farage, Stephen Yaxley-Lenon, Crafty Grimes, Jayda Fransen, etc, can now feel safe out on the streets.

I would expect to see more humbleness and holistic approach to life. Especially from someone that claims to have life and work experience.

Did you read my post?

There is a difference between being humble and depressed.

I am lucky=humble.
I changed career when it became obvious it was a dead end= Holistic
I compare myself to others and prove I am better than you Giggle = Holistic
