Dinah £20 a week for a year may not be a lot if it was for one person. Just work it out for the year for the very many it has been given to and what that would cost the nation ( it’s tax payers money not the government’s.)
That’s why furlough has to end in Autumn too.
If we're doing sums, let's work out how much was paid for the deeply flawed track and trace, the initial ventilator contracts, the PPE contracts that 1st didn't deliver and that then delivered substandard products, the mates of the govt who swiftly got into the mandatory Covid testing for travellers lark, many of which don't provide ANY service and have to be backed up by NHS testing.
If they stopped troughing our taxes away in tax havens, we could afford to pay the most vulnerable in our society a little extra. Let's face it, they'll still be below the poverty line even with it.
