Government Help For Self Employed Workers

[Ratman]

I have to do a self assessment here and in Norway, So Im doubly fucked. [emoji3] Ive got the greedy Scottish SNP eyes on me and the efficient and equally uncaring Norwegian eyes making sure not a crumb is missed. My Norwegian tax assessment is in. I owe £900 in June. As in Goodfellas its a case of 'fuck you, pay me'. If Scotland think I still owe them something they play the same movie back to me.

Fuck Karma, life is what we make it!

 

I will take it, and I dont mind. But to have some slightly narrow minded folk here tell me to mind my own business because I dont know what its like? Well they can go do one. 

 

Dry, is there another way?

For some, certainly. But I spoke with a guy yesterday who has 3 months of work booked in and hasn’t had any cancellations yet, he generally works large domestic properties, based in Kent, so a lot could depend on the customers finances and location.

If we can still get a bit each week we won't be too far out, it's getting it that's the problem.

What payback.?

To cover the multiple billions now being handed out by various governments worldwide to keep global economies afloat. Highly unlikely that this will be written off as an altruistic deed by those who have fronted this cash. Far more likely we will be asked (made) to pay it all back with interest over a long time, thus causing a mammoth recession allowing further land and property grabs by various institutions and rights erosion of the working classes on a global scale.

 

Just my two cents. Would love to be proven wrong.

 

Maybe this will instead lead to a situation where we end up with universal basic income, a more stable and caring society, not for profit healthcare systems with some real spare capacity, global business which prioritises employee wellbeing over outright profit and a financial and political class which puts the benefit of every citizen ahead of the short term goal of fast money and outright lies in their bids to be elected.

I am however a realist and can't see this happening. 

 

The other fact is that we can't just let the pandemic run its course unmitigated. None of us want to see our parents or vulnerable friends/family come down with this. No easy choices to be made right now. No such thing as free money either.

Thanks for answering.

My question (to short of cause) was directed at your claim if it’s credit or not.

They are paying out certain grants, and have set up some loan systems for businesses. It's in the news at the moment though that the loans are hard to get hold of.

My small business should also get a grant through the district council but they are not running at their usual high level of efficiency at the moment so still waiting to hear anything.

In the UK it's quick to announce but slow to deliver as usual.
