Benefits are an employer and shareholder subsidy. Sadly the UK is not very financially literate, I blame the Daily Fail, tbh.

It's a tangible, significant difference and for the utter eejits carping, that money goes back into the economy. Local multiplier effects can be 3 x the cash value. So, a shop hires another worker, etc.

He thought it was like AIDS and he was doing a Diana. At a time when there were questions over how it was transmitted.

He's a thick as mince, lazy, perma-partying slob--and we really didn't deserve this 'leadership'.

Didn't get any better. Eat Out to Spread the Virus About? Murderous.

Me too.

The rest of them need to do the same in quick succession.

Omg he's changing the setting back tomorrow, screenshot it all quick 🤣
