GDP in 3019 was £2.2 trillion. The 4 month lockdown is 10% of DGP. On top of the debt close to £2 trillion already. But it’s the tax revenue that’s important. Try paying all that back with low revenue. Italy, Spain and France could go off the scale. EU talking today. The tax take will increase due to companies and individuals wondering if it might be better to pay onshore tax and the correct tax. This bailout has highlighted that help will be available relative to what you put into the pot. Dividends will be less so NI will also go up.

Doesn’t it depend on what happens in other countries? Someone has to bite the bullet but if they’re open in other places it seems unnecessary to keep them closed here.

He also pointed out the stocking problem. No pubs will have any stock that will still be usable in a couple of weeks, will take ages to restock all of them. He said that breweries wouldn't be too keen on giving pubs loads of credit to restock if there's a danger of them going bust, or having to close again due to another lockdown. All of this comes from him, he is a landlord, but also worked quite high up in the brewery game.

The pub opposite us sold all their beer and cider off for £1 - £1.50 a pint (bring your own jug) as soon as lockdown was announced .

I’m just clutching at straws - a bit keen on the boozer being open.
