Coronavirus - Here come the variants

Serious cash, a bit less than I thought but still…

Informative mate.

Which is why they won’t and haven’t done it. Much easier sell we’re all in it together to this target group a lot of whom are happy enough for others to make sacrifices for them because they’re so caring you see.

A bit! :grin:

It all adds up!

I’d read somewhere our covid bill to date was 45 billion or so since March. Maybe I was dreaming, obviously thats far more inclusive of all economic activity thats been lost rather than just PUP payments.

It all adds up.

575/45

Link?

The government won’t do that. It would alter the public opinion rapidly. Once you start taking money out of a majority of people’s pockets you’d very quickly tip the balance of the public looking for the end of restrictions.

They’ll flog everyone on the tail end of it when bigger numbers are back in the PAYE net.

23 billion euro so far added to our national debt according to that piece. Closer than the PUP’s 141 million a week.

Either way, its a shit show that will have to be paid for.

I’ll have to be wary of things you post in future, I could have relayed that to some friends of mine. You’re off the list of trusted TFK posters.

You specified the PUP though…
