Completely agree, will say saw plenty of trades out today. All saying the same thing. They will sort it, but untill they do it's business as normal.

It's becoming a massive social devide. Don't expect the masses to care about us, the majority of people on this forum have been instantly abusive to any thought of equality in this matter. It's a case of 'im alright jack' If you turned the tables can you imagine the up roar. Yet we was contrabuting members of society are left to rot and told to put up and shut up. Any respect I once had for humanity is rapidly fading. I hope you and your partner get through this. Stay safe.

What am I going to get fined for? I'm allowed to travel to work that I cannot do from home. We very much respect the social distance approach. If you don't agree with that your issue is with the government, not me. I don't make the rules. And I would prefer to be at home. I appreciate this comes form a good place. But I just hope you can see my point. Give us the fair opportunity to do as the employed are. Thank you for your efforts on the front line. Stay safe.

Jeez Fella. I am not taking anything away from the front line. I fully support them. Obviously?! I am not being supported. Whatsoever. At all. Nothing. Nor is there any plan in place to do so. NOTHING. Nurses should be paid more, agreed. If you need us to stay at home, spread the message that the SE need to be supported to do so. Don't give us a shit choice the moan when we make it. I categorically do not want more. Just the same as the employed. I personally would like to give you a bell end fine.

I believe there having difficulty as some small business are going to benefit from this. So they don't want to send money to people that don't need it (a wild guess at 5% of businesses). Quite right. But there has to be something for the 95% in the meantime. And if someone has dodged tax they can jog on anyway. Got to remember at this point in the year tax return information is 18 months old Thanks, nice to not be abused for my options :laugh:

Again, not taking anything away from people on the front line. This was not even mentioned or implied. So why is this reasonable to some how make my point invalid? We should give those guys everything they need and more. Just want the same support as the employed. It's simple really. That way we can support our NHS by staying at home. We just want the same. Nothing more.

I get your sentiment, but I'm not wondering around. I'm at work. The government has allowed us to do this. And by not supporting the self employed to the same extent as everyone else, there making us make a very hard choice. Your point should be directed at the government. 'support the SE so they stop going out' or something like that. Not, 'pick who lives you monster'. We just want a fair crack, nothing more. If No1 was getting paid to sit at home and they had the choice to work they would be if they had too. End of.

Good night rich boy

Looks like after some dinner sneezing. The government didn't fancy the self employed back lash. Realised, that they needed to do the right thing. Regardless of there rich friends views (all named Nibor) on letting us miss mortgage payments and eat just beans. Equality across all sectors and working together is what will beat this thing.

Haha nah , but I'll suck your toes

And it's Smith. Literally the best 3 words

Wish we could all be in that position. My point is that the government should help us to the same extent it has helped the employed to enable us to stay at home. I have said already that staying at home and helping beat this thing is what's best. What do you not agree with? Those that can't stay at home won't, surely you can see the need for equality here. Doesn't that solve the problem? All I've ask for . You hairy peen

Not slagging anyone off. The guy can clearly see that were struggling and decides to chip in that it's because we're 'selfish' . I mean what's the need in making this our fault. But thanks, I hope this comes good. So your doing this and your ok with it?

Thanks ska, really hope this comes through. But pressure needs to be applied to ensure it does

Your being unbelievably selfish by siding with the view that is unbelievable hardship to the self employed is ok. Just as long as your alright fella. Why should we have to suffer more than any other sector. Your an every man for them self guy, with no thaught of others Hope people sneeze in your dinner.

Hardly just inconvenient you p *** r **I c k This is life changing for the self employed. Many will not get over this. Your argument should be directed at the government for not giving us the opportunity to stay at home

I would be more than happy to stay at home. And I encourage any one that can to do so. However, if you were looking at not paying bills, mortgage or even having enough money to buy vital supplies im sure you would reluctantly go to work. The world is bigger than just you and your presentations. Other people are suffering tonight, perhaps think about others and the position there in ?

So hope B&Q and Screwfix can stay open. Will remember this after it's all blown over. Thanks Northern Red. Where did you get this from?

Let's stick together on this. Anyone know any merchants open on the sly?

Stand together on this lads. No walk overs here

Just has to be mate

Going to work tomorrow, Self employed damp proofer I believe it is very much 'essential' that I put food on the table for my family. And that I am a 'key worker' in the regards to feeding and housing my family. It is unbelievable that the self employed have been left behind in all of this. We will have to pay for the 80% wage subsidy for the employed in our next tax returns. Yet we get no help. Creating a massive devide in society. I have supported the government vigorously (even on this forum) I have not got savings to fall back on. The closure of builders merchants WILL leed to looting if this is not resolved very quickly. There are many in a far worse position than me. But expect a huge self employed back lash. Forget us at your peril !

Clearly humour Mr p. But Macdonald's appears to be ruled out :laugh:

Sorry I fell asleep at the end there lefty Jog on with the point scoring in a crisis.
