    Self Employed & Small Businesses

    I hear train companies and airlines such as Virgin Atlantic are already crying and asking for government bail outs in terms of cash. Perhaps their CEO’s and Directors can take huge pay cuts!! Likewise - hopefully footballers picking up huge salaries can have whip rounds for all those staff who are reliant on pay for match days etc!

    Priority of any bail outs should be towards the self employed and small businesses! A self employed person who can’t work due to the virus still has to feed his family!

    Maybe some of the celebrities and minted will dig deep to help the elderly or most vulnerable! Will they? Will they f uck!

    Greed is one of the biggest problems in society!

    Agreed 100 %, ”regular employees” and ”self employed/small businesses” should be prioritized - ”CEOs/directors/footballers could have a temporary ”stop in payments”, for a couple of years... 😈

    My employer will insist im there and if i go off ill will not pay me, doesnt seem right

    Well said Al - won't occur to the wealthy elite to be charitable though will it, just not in their nature. It's a paradox that the most generous in society are those that have the least to give.

    It’s sad BS that the man on the street always suffer!! Stay safe and look after family in times like this! As Klopp says - football is nothing if it saves one life! Wish Everyone had this view!

    The wealthy elite have already started jetting away to far away places with doctors and nursing staff. So won't hear your plea. Money itself is not the root of all evil but the love of it is....so we are told.
