That scientist guy is the exact level of hot for a scandalous sex-haver scientist, definitely a 1 on the binary but isn't too hot that it would seem fake if he talked about antibodies and RNA.

Bloodly posted:"Keep number from going down." But UK median income furloughed at 80% is ~£2000, and that's median not average so it's not like the pedophile class are throwing the numbers off hugely, if the maximum furlough rate was lowered to say £1700 that would save a loving ton off the furlough bill and wouldn't put a 2 parents working at minimum wage family into arrears, while lowering the rate to 60% absolutely would do that. I know the human cost doesn't matter to them etc but it's such a boneheaded move, why not maintain the social stability at least?

And since they're now bailing out landlords directly there's no point in giving money to the tenants. Much more efficient this way.

When things start to look bad (and they already are, in terms of some amount of media backlash) who's gonna get the blame?

It's not actually a thing. I'm broadly glad the good hot scientist is slaying puss but that minor interaction is less significant than 7 people not wearing gloves when they press the screen on the self checkout machine it's a loving irrelevance don't fall for this dumb poo poo it's literally propoganda.

Looking at the front pages, I think today might actually be the lowest point in British journalism history. On the plus side, I guess that means we can look forward to the new low in a week or two.

Might as well face it, you're addicted to fur-lough If you're on mimimum wage above 25 the reduction would mean you have £732.20 a month coming in. If you're 18-20 you'd be getting £541 a month on the new rate. If people are working from home whilst under furlough I don't see how they can say you'd only be paid 60% of your wage, though I'm sure they'll wrangle it. Shame the country just loves the boot as stuff like this might piss people off. NotJustANumber99 posted:I honestly just think is weird how cross you all are with the BBC.

Do not, my friends, become addicted to wages. They will take hold of you, and you will resent their absence.

justcola posted:Might as well face it, you're addicted to fur-lough That's assuming anyone on minimum wage is working 40 hours a week. I'm on slightly over minimum wage and at the 60% rate last month I would've gotten £696 because it's a rolling average of your last 12 months payslips. So people who've gotten recent paycuts from reduced hours are going to see their furlough pay slowly decrease anyway as higher pay periods fall off the record and drop the average. Also you can't claim the furlough pay if you're doing work for your employer from home, because by definition if you're working you're not furloughed. This is why the whole "it's to encourage people back to work" line pisses me off, furloughed people aren't unemployed. We still have our jobs, the entire point of the scheme was to stop companies from just firing everyone.

I'm lucky enough to have been furloughed on full pay so far but if the scheme drops from 80 to 60 per cent I don't know how much longer the National Trust would be able to keep that up, the organisation is burning through cash reserves pretty fast as it is despite furloughing 80% of staff and scrapping pay rises. I could lose 20% of pay and we'd just about get by. Dropping to 60% would be firmly into "how do we pay the mortgage" territory which is not an exciting prospect. I'll just get another job though, I'm sure there are loads of people hiring, thanks Dishy Rishi for encouraging me to not be so feckless.

Don't worry, you won't be able to get another job anyway. Worry even less, though, because the point isn't to save money. It's to force people to go back to work despite the risk.
