And people will die unnecessarily because of that of that decision
And more like year's of higher taxes and borrowing.

Like my mate just said, tonight has just become unintentionally a country wide mass piss up, which I’m sure wasn’t the intention !
Yeh I'm having a look into it now. Gonna apply for the UC and see what I can get.
I think it's £95 plus an extra £20 from the grand he promised to add to the UC scheme per-person (from what I gathered).
Thanks though Bruce, at least I know i'm on the right lines.
Like I said, it's not enough for most people to live off imo. If I can pick up 2 shifts per week and hopefully some other freelance work, then it will help me though. I'd be worried if it was the only source of income (which it may well be but I'm trying my hardest for it not to be).
Mate who lives in Leeds city centre has said most of the bars are empty.
Guess that might be because most are working from home though!
I think it's ace living off pittance? Not sure how you're coming to that conclusion.
I go hiking, I go running, play football 3 times per week, go to the pub, restaurants, weekends away. Just spent £150 on Adidas trackies to keep me comfy indoors.
I'm 28, so we're basically the same. You just come across a lot more selfish/naive and me a little more sensible & logical that's all.

What is love?
If you have enough money saved then there will be plenty of opportunities to TEFL abroad, if you have a degree. I was speaking to EF Education First in Indonesia before the crisis hit and I thought it my duty to get home and help whichever way I could. However, if you (or anyone else is interested) from the start of the application to getting posted out there it would take about 1 month.
This just through from IPSE
IPSE (the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed), has warned that the government’s Coronavirus response measures leave the self-employed “trailing far behind employees”.
IPSE has said that although there is unprecedented support for employees, the government has done “nowhere near enough” for the self-employed. It has urged the government to provide better support by creating a Temporary Income Protection Fund. This should provide temporary, targeted grants to replace a proportion of the income lost by freelancers.
Andy Chamberlain, Director of Policy at IPSE (the Association of Independent Professionals and the Self-Employed) said: “Despite unprecedented measures to support employees, the government has still left the self-employed trailing far behind.
“The government has done nowhere near enough to support the self-employed. In fact, instead of supporting freelancers to help them keep their businesses going, it is pushing the self-employed into the benefits system. Worse, in the benefits system, the amount of money available will simply not be enough to cover many freelancers’ costs.
“In this drastic and grave situation, we urge the Prime Minister and Chancellor to match the steps they have taken for employees and create a Temporary Income Protection Fund for the self-employed. This should give a temporary, targeted cash injection to the freelance businesses that are struggling most – a financial boost to make up for lost income and keep them afloat.
“We urge the government to act on this and we urge anyone affected to sign our petition to make this happen.”
They should have tried to find a way to say it's closed tonight not tomorrow but let pub/restaurant owners know tonight is basically a cleaning loose ends mission.
@Nymzee not meaning to be nasty, but fed up of getting told I'm being thick or now, that I should just 'adapt' that a load of income has gone for me.
If the Olympics goes - which I think from a logistics and health standpoint it probably has to - I've lost about £7k (give or take) of earnings from that, the Euros and work I had lined up for Glasto. So it's hurt me. Big style.
I'm sorry if I'm coming across as a div to you. Maybe we can just agree to disagree?

Huge, huge credit to a Government showing some balls today, yes hard times ahead in relation to dealing with the virus and that is where we as general public need to fully cooperate with the instructions we are given and be aware of our fellow peoples struggles, physically, emotionally, mentally etc.
Time to put "All" before "Me"
Time to put "All" before "Me"
But you HAVE to adapt is what I'm getting at - you do not have a choice.
I promise you once this is all over and you're back working normally you will have a greater appreciation of your spending as will I and many others.

Also asking brothers or sisters if they are well off, never be embarrassed when it comes to money
Maybe I'm more selfish because I was brought up in a household that was completey s*** on under the last Labour gov and by big business. I have always had to work for everything I've got (like I'm sure everybody on here has) and have that attitude.
My first priority is always myself and my family, then my friends.
Because when I was growing up I got nothing from anyone else. And at the end of the day you have to take care of yourselves in order to be in a good state to take care of others (which I try to do whenever possible).
My mate in East York’s, says it’s like New Years Eve already in his village pub.
