The government using last years tax to support people who are self employed to see what they are entitled to. The self employed who have been under declaring their income to pay less tax now booting off..

Sure???

£5bn was 0.1% tax. Even at 1% it wouldn't come close to covering the income tax bill, which is closer to £180bn.

Wetherspoons founder Tim Martin has told staff to "go work at Tesco" instead as the pub firm warned staff they could face delays over pay.

The company, which employs 40,000 people, shut all its pubs on Friday after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordered sites to shut until further notice in response to coronavirus.

In a video message to staff, Mr Martin suggested its workers could find employment at supermarkets while its pubs remain shut.

He said the pub group will pay staff for all work done until the shutdown, when its pubs last opened, but will not make any further payments to staff until the Government fulfils its promise to cover 80% of the wages of workers impacted by the virus.

When I used to work in a decorating centre a lot of sole traders seemed to be fiddling it to some extent. Every few purchases made with cash deliberately so it didn't go on their credit account. As example.

Get on the Chinese mainland Weibo social media and loads of anus "mask ripping off" selfies.

Despicable behaviour. Apparently according to the BBC Chinese social media "influencers" are trying to claim the virus in fact originated in Italy. Amazing patter.

Fingers well and truly crossed for him here mate.

His missus has had to dial 999 so he must be fairly bad, not the best timing.

The Chinese ended lockdown in Wuhan, effective immediately. Now Wuhan people will roam all over China. Second wave if it comes will be devastating. We have to make sure no Chinese planes arrive in Europe until September.

[Del-boy]

Just hearing on the local news people who are being stopped by the police saying they have Corona. They threatening to cough and spit at the officers. Absolute animals.

And rightly so but I’m sure it would be a slap on the wrist from the courts.
