No. When I was a child in the UK in the days we used to get proper winters, me and my brother would eagerly listen to local radio before breakfast in the hope we would learn the pipes had frozen and our school was shut.
Then would follow a day of sledging and snow fights. Sounds Dickensian these days but was only the late 70s/early 80s! |

Oh they (we) will be by the millions soon Barney; that is the point.
You don't actually think that furlough is a solution (or even intended to be) to the economic catastrophe that has been needlessly created and presented to suckers as inevitable do you?! |

And how would the current recipients pay for their food, accommodation etc?

Yes, I don't care if they try to stamp out out the virus or if they let it run free, as long as what they do makes sense.
You cant have a bit of this and a bit of that and any other bit of nonsense you want to chuck in.
If I have got it badly wrong and this is indeed a national emergency of war like proportions then do it properly.
Lockdown, fully, everywhere until all the vulnerable are vaccinated.
Don't expect teachers to risk a likely death; you wouldn't have asked them to wander round London during the blitz...
Stop the furlough scheme now. We may as well get millions used to the poverty that is inevitably coming their way now Xmas is out the way. |
