@robinbettencourtdagraca Wake up to what is taking place across the western economies. This is not going to end until all small/medium business has been killed off. Not a virus problem it's a greed problem. They came for the working class years ago and no-one bothered. Now they (the elites who dwarf all high street traders) have set about destroying the middle class: the local business class who hire most workers and actually pay tax. The old left/right thing is defunct. This is the return to slavery being set up.

Rex Stout How is it in any way a trait of 'right wingers', to support people being cheated out of what is theirs?

If the business is closing, then how are the jobs 'at risk'? The jobs are gone 100%, they are no more. Nor is this really newsworthy - if it is the government's plan to extinguish all small/medium businesses (is there anyone who hasn't clocked that yet?) then closures and losses like this will be daily occurrences until the job is done and the country is left at the mercy of global financiers. Furlough will morph into UBI and once the rump of the workforce is on UBI (certain positions excepted of course, including media professional liars) then the monthly payment levels will be put at whatever is deemed necessary. The vast majority of human history was based on slavery. Freedom and liberty were won by much blood but were a blip - they are gone already. Slavery is once again the rule.

Govindraj You expect a business to bleed money? You seem confident that the lockdown that has caused all this will only last one year. That would mean a total lifting of lockdown and a return to former conditions, by mid March. That is not going to happen is it?

@robinbettencourtdagraca "...a few months of closing" A year and counting, of being forced to trade at a loss. Your idea of business is a never-ending money tree. It is a very different concern.

Yes, Philip Green is a wanker who stole from the pension fund. By rights he should be banged-up. But let's not kid ourselves: if there were no lockdown, then these shops would be open and taking in revenue and the people who worked there would be still in a job. But hey, gotta unload some left-wing bile.
