The UK is over 2 trillion in debt and throwing money away like con fetti
First furlough payments that many individuals and companies have found to have abused for their own means, now payments for self isolating
Call me cynical but wont people , maybe the younger who dont see covid as dangerous , see this as an advantage and cause it to spread more for financial gain ?
Up to £182 is a nice sum for them for sitting at home, more than most pensioners get
It can only happen there, i cannot see the spanish government being so foolish

Yes you are right freddo, but it still doesnt excuse the governments cavalier attitude with taxpayers money
Wait until the austerity cuts and increases start to hit to pay for everything

I was in the same position Orangepicker. Eventually got mine at 64 and 3 months, after it being changed the second time from 63 and 5 months! Not enough of us for the government to take any notice though however much we tried.
