People commit suicide because the Tory government has been financially raping them and stripping them of opportunity for a long time.

[minerve 2] 17/7/2020 10:47

The Tories have been 'torturing people to death' for decades and you support them!

LOL!

[grahamite2] 17/7/2020 10:44

Do you know, Minerve, I've never yet felt any desire to torture people to death. Do you think that's a memo from Nigel that I've missed?

Has some insider leaked the results before results day?

IMO if they can open up pubs, barbers, shops, etc they can open up workplaces. After all, a controlled working environment can be easily managed unlike a shop or pub where customers can easily forget to maintain distances.

All the furlough system is doing is to delay the inevitable of some businesses going under. We should bite the bullet and stop procrastinating. Many will be able to find new jobs. Whilst the chancellor is trying to be helpful he is wrecking the economy and forcing companies which are profitable to carry Government responsibility by banning divi’s and making those healthy companies pay. The result is that those Companies that would fold, WILL fold, but the good healthy parts of the economy are slowly being destroyed.

Just my opinion!

Treasury to raise £35bn from savers

National Savings & Investments customers will fund emergency spending


Patrick Hosking, Financial Editor
Friday July 17 2020, 12.01a



Savers are to be mobilised to lend the government unprecedented sums of money as the Treasury seeks new sources of funding to feed its gigantic borrowing needs this year.

The Treasury said yesterday that it had asked National Savings & Investments to raise a net £35 billion from savers this year, a record for a single year and almost six times what had been envisaged before the pandemic began.

Don't think they are idiots. But guess you know more.

Idiots being Oxford university , and your back ground as a keyboard warrior trump's this?

[utrickytrees] 17/7/2020 08:56

MM2 good point, let's bang em in a 5 bed £1.25m house & pay them 35K year in benefits like we did Abu Hamza that'll be a deterrent wont it. Meanwhile the war widow can struggle to pay off half her mortgage with her 110k, but she will also get £3.6k pa pension which will pay to have someone do the jobs her husband would have done like put shelves up & cut the grass. Fk me she might have a few quid left over for a long wkend at centre parks with the kids. Result!

UK may have enough immunity to prevent new wave

Britain may have already achieved a sufficient level of herd immunity to prevent a second wave of Covid-19, an Oxford University study has suggested. Scientists believe the "threshold" may have been lowered because many people may already be immune to the disease without ever having caught it. According to a model produced by the Oxford team, as few as 20 per cent of the population may need to be resistant to the virus in order to prevent a new epidemic spreading. As Bill Gardner reports, experts suggest a sizeable number of people may have immunity because of Covid-19's similarity to the common cold.

Meanwhile, Boris Johnson will announce an additional £3bn to keep Nightingale hospitals open until next March amid fears of a resurgence of Covid-19 this winter.

I agree with you on the Express and would no longer post links from them. Click bait of the worst kind.
