Financial support? What about the self employed?
 

Boris and his Chancellor have promised extensive financial support packages for businesses large and small. Very impressive. But no mention was made of the self employed individuals who are going to be affected just as badly.

What will happen there? :shrug:

We get shafted as usual

The self employed are the "small businesses" surely? Or do you need to employ others?

Benefits and mortgage help are being offered to self employed here as well as everyone else, I'm sure it will be the same in the UK

Yes thanks Niamh. Thats what I needed to know.

There was NO mention of the self-employed today

HMRC have now set up a help line specifically for the self-employed people and businesses who could be struggling due to COVID-19.

You can contact this helpline at: 0800 0159 559

Sad day for them..................

No it's about Individual workers

Free Lancers etc.

Thats useful. Thanks. Xx

LT: "Please help no one wants to buy the marked-up old vases and stuff that I've bought in job lots from the estates of corona victims!"

Sorry this isn't the roast thread :umm2:...

:joker:

Government is talking bs

Bitch you sell **** online, all anybody is going to be doing now is online shopping

I am hoping that

1. dead people have estates that auctions sell. More dead=more stuff

2. people who are skint as they lose their jobs have to take stuff to their local auction to get money

Boris bans auctions :shocked:

Not for grandmother clocks and shabby chic tables though.

yes they do, people in times of crisis treat themselves to little luxuries

people at home will want to collect small things to make them happy when they arrive
a little treat each day the posty arrives

i am worried that when i go to auctions this week - its panic buy:shocked:

the only good thing is it may frighten off the private buyer who wont risk it so us dealers will mop up

i called up my reg auction this week and said are you closing and their reply was "f.u.ck off"

Not a clock being a treat.

Well Rodney from Sheffield would disagree. he bought a lovely nap hat mantel clock this week and called me for 24 mins to tell me all about how he was going to refurbish it

:skull:

And sell for a profit? Not you being conned.

Why would it matter if they both made a profit :think: If the man is a restorer that is his profession, completely different to being a dealer, that’s how economy works :shrug:

There talk a lot without saying anything most of the time

But yes all should be help

I don't trust a word they say
