    If you’ve “endured” austerity then you’re not a net payer to the system, so to you, yes, it’s just more free money to add to the previous free money and services that you’ve had.
    It’s not clear what you want people to say here, it’s a quickly implemented scheme, so it’s simple, and the other methods of calculation would be equally unfair, but just to,others, rather from you.
    We’ll be returning to normality in a few months, and millions of people will be worse off at the end of it; that’s what it means to have the economy hit.
    Live off your savings for now. If you don’t have enough, and get hungry, then sell some things to buy food.
    Don’t look to the state to get you through the lean times. It may be nice if they do, but it’s never a good idea to rely on it.
     its never a good idea to rely on a Tory government to keep its promises and get everyone through the tough times. 
    The thought of a Corbyn Government at the current time is unimaginable. We'd still be waiting for any clear clarification on any topic.

    Unlike Boris who's been universally applauded for his clarity setting out his brilliant roadmap out of lockdown.
