• Lock the place down for 10 weeks and go on a massive vaccination program like a war effort. The numbers aren't that extreme even if the govt is very generous.

    £500 pw for every adult - 45M * £5k = £225B
    £100 pw for every child under 12 - 10M * £1k = £10B
    £150 pw for every child under 18 - 9M * £1.5k = £13.5B

    £248.5B for a massive stimulus package that could get us to a 40%ish immunised society with 90%+ of the vulnerable and key workers immunised.

    The have already spent £280B and we're not much closer to the finish line IMO

  • Exactly. It's been proven on umpteen occasions that trickle down is a nonsense. You have to fund from the bottom up.

    I mean really, where the fuck was the fairness in a stamp-duty holiday or eat-out-to-help-out?
