So I'm a through-crack-faller (less saucy than it sounds).

I was self-employed for several years, went back to an employed position (stupidly, in retrospect - I was being lazy - which I even knew at the time, if honest) for a couple of years (with a small - but understood - lowering of incoming). I faced up to my error and went back to doing my own thing in Dec.'18. Consequently, my 18/19 tax return shows negligible profit, given that I was resurrecting a dormant concern for some of that, plus Jan is always a quiet month in my industry.

So...

I stand to get next to nothing from the govenment provision and don't know that I'll get much of note from Universal Credit, if I even qualify. Fortunately, I've done okay since going my own way again and can hopefully tough things out if the whole thing doesn't go entirely to s*** for too long. But it's going to use up pretty much all of what I do have behind me.

Now I've taken the view that it's inevitable that any system will see some fall through the cracks and I'm just unlucky that I'm one of those. Plus my (extremely limited) understanding of UBI is that it's a socialist ideal (something that would typically instinctively appeal to me) but hasn't proved very successful in practise.

But, should I be more up-in-arms? I will be a bit shafted (possibly entirely), I've always paid my tax fairly (i think it's important) and it does seem that suddenly it's Socialism All The Way, or so it seems, therefore do we hang the economics and just look after EVERYONE?

So am I being unfairly forgotten? Or is it, as my instinct tells me, simply tough luck?

Seriously fill out the universal credit on line.
A friend who is paye filled out with honest 41k salary and what he had ie house etc. Only thing he missed out for the dummy run was his bird lives with him. He would be entitled to £94 a week according to the website. He got the push to try from the martin Lewis website. Free to sign up and loads of tips on money saving. Interest free cards etc which is another way people in reality could get through this crisis as loads have 36 months term on interest free.
Sometimes you have to go with the now rather than the future.
I probably not a good model but my repo was 30 years ago. Nothing serious since and 7 years and my gaff is paid.

So what happens when we next have a flu epidemic? That kills an average of 17,000 a year in Britain and that’s with vaccine available. Straight into lockdown every time?

My final word on this matter.

HOL will recall those 'Referee' threads where I gave my honest and sincere opinions and faced persistant ordure,shot and shell.High grade ordance was dropped on me from a great height and I was subjected to gladitorial hostility on a regular basis.

A series of negative accusations were labelled against me which were total hogwash (Attention seeker,troll etc), I was goaded by certain posters and threads disintegrated into what I termed 'Willo threads'.They became exceedingly tedious and did not serve HOL well so I took the decision NOT to engage in any debate about referees or refereeing as much as I was tempted to do so, accordingy I for one have exercised some restraint in the interests of this cherished site.

Good God, man, you do realise that Cucking is on this thread??

In all seriousness, if I'm not missing an old ladies joke (there's every chance), I'm genuinely looking at all opportunities available that will allow me to keep afloat, so would be deeply appreciative of any offer to consider. (We're not completely dead just yet, but pretty much, and I can leave the trickle to be managed by others in the interim, if I do need to find consistent alternative income.)

Should I message you?

See? Maple's alright. Not had a single (non-sexual) offer from Stirling!

Money Whore!

Na, when the wolf is at the door I wish no ill...even to the misguided or in your case....'those who have often spoken with their mouth full'.

According to some we can all identify as having one if we want.

I wish we could all do that with virus testing kits.

Though to be honest, I'm with those who think we need to live with this within the best safety measures we can take.

We are committing war time spending for a virus when our debt levels were huge anyway....I'm not sure how that works.

How is this going to work out long time for the working man and women's mortgages and jobs? I have my fingers crossed.

Perhaps we can quantitatively-ease our way out of this? I don't know....but countries in the Euro like Spain and Italy are in a very different situation. The control of their money supply is in the hands of the European Central Bank.....No doubt they will 'ease' as well but we are going to see how that goes.
