Agreed - and to be honest, if it gets the country back on its feet quicker and stops a few restuarants/pubs from going under, then I've got no problem.

I currently have a weekly standing order to my local pub (small/independant) to help them through these times, and place a few online orders for cider. Had a chat with the boss when he delivered on Friday and he says he's coping, and doing about 40 deliveries a week, but unsure what will happen when they are allowed to re-open. As the pub is quite small, he says he'll only be allowed 15 punters in and it may not be cost effective.

My concerns are for the vulnerable as we have quite a few in our area on very low incomes that unlike us don't have toys to play with and every week is a battle to survive.

Although we help out were we can they need all the help that can be afforded during these times.


Agreed. We need a bit of Keynesian economics. Pay them more money, and they'll spend more money which will help fill the traders and Government coffers,

I accept however, that it's not the Tory way, I see another great period of austerity measures designed to impact only the worse off in society.
