doulikefish Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 8 minutes ago, ICTChris said: It’s interesting that the debate on this matter in the US is clearly leaning towards large fiscal stimulus. Even Trump was apparently quoted as wanting to “go big” and he signed a massive stimulus package just before leaving office. The sorts of analysts who usually take a hawkish approach to spending like this aren’t doing so this time. We are likely going to see a huge fiscal injection to the US economy during a period with relatively high household budgets and a relatively booming stock market. What happens will be interesting economically and politically in the US anyway. Biden did a presser last week saying he is going bigger than that because in the last crash when he was Vp the one regret he had is that he didnt go big enough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can apply and receive UC (by grace and favour of our Tory overlords) up to a certain shared income. I suspect that it isn't be much in your circumstances but it is an option for those in low-paid employment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he reversed some travel bans that trump had put in place for Muslim countries Just looking at the Superbowl seems to me he's changed nothing I actually thought from your post you lived there but think not 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s nice to know that in this uncertain world where we have a global pandemic that posters will take the time to express concern for others. To put your mind at ease I’m okay and have a close (though socially distanced) family to rely on if things get too much. Nonetheless your concern is noted and appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 It has been spoken about. The consensus we've both came to is that when the first set of restrictions are lifted, whatever or whenever they are (probably some sort of lift at start of March), she may go back to trading whether hairdressing is on that list or not. At that point it will have been 2 weeks she's been allowed to work in the previous 13. If she's not being subsidised, that's enough. She can't even apply for universal credit because I work.New-style JSA? It's Conts-based. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 That's my parents got their jags (Pfizer). My maw, who will regularly moan about the smallest thing, had no complaints about the entire process. I don't know if EDC are deliberately doing them on a street by street basis, but the old man saw at least 3 other households from their street at the vaccination centre at the same time! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) 2 hours ago, Skyline Drifter said: I set up as a hairdresser in December and haven't been able to cut a single head of hair yet due to the pandemic. Can I have £4,000 please? Note - I didn't set up as a hairdresser, I don't know a styling mousse from a hairdryer and I've got no intention of ever cutting any hair but you want any Tom, Dick and Harry who says they were trading or intending to trade for a short period since to get a grant "no questions asked"? That's even more ridiculous. The Govt has a real problem with the recently self employed who are either unable to prove it or, at least, unable to justify their losses. There are a lot of things they can be doing better to help those people no doubt but one of them is absolutely NOT giving people grants with "no questions asked". Yeah that's fair enough. I was too loose with the way I expressed that. It's undeniable that a fair amount of people are falling though the cracks.

Jambomo Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Both my parents got their first jab yesterday (AZ). My mums appointment was originally on the 21st Feb, but as she had gone along to the EICC with my dad, someone suggested that she could get hers at the same time and they did them both. Really pleased they were flexible that way, makes a lot of difference to my mum as her own appointment was going to be a bit tricky to get to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Can't see the English red list standing up They will move to all countries as anyone else who's introduced these measures hasThat's how I see it, they will simply add countries weekly like the "travel corridors" of last summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 (edited) Just England but R of 0.75 based on hospital admissions.
