Default 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?

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

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

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

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"

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