@SirenCalledLuce Things like this are about to affect millions of people.
We had trouble making sure people had sufficient money for rent and food BEFORE this crisis. Todays announcement means many more will be in greater hardship because the government STILL feels the need to pay EMPLOYERS but NOT take care of EMPLOYEES WORKING during a worldwide CRISIS.

@Picklebobble2 Thanks for the caps. Maybe think about writing to your MP instead of messing with my lunchtime chi.

@Picklebobble2 I doubt it. But thanks. It’s sweet chilli chicken today, and a lovely slice of coffee walnut cake for afters.
