Is this right.

So, would you call any company who invest in new equipment to keep them competitive as abusing the system if they used lawfully the government furlough scheme to pay their wages?

If so, then you are effectively condemning all companies who used furlough scheme to decline and oblivion as they are no longer able to compete.

Its the same with these football clubs, they are investing in new equipment - players in this case .

If you are going to force these businesses to be non competitive, then they will inevitably fail and jobs will be lost, so there is no point in a furlough scheme as you are making any company who takes part in it fail as they are not able to invest in their business

Yours is the first voice I have heard demanding companies are not allowed to reinvest in their businesses to keep them competitive

I'm sorry but that is a complete & utter load of old ******s which I now wish I hadn't bothered reading

So, instead of pointless abuse, what is it that I have posted that is wrong?

And in answer to your question, in that peice, everything.

Sad that people feel compelled to bring everything back to politics, make assumptions and generally miss the point.

BUT THE CJRS IS POLITICS!!!

They've done nothing wrong.

What should have happened, obviously, is the roll out of UBI in some format to protect people, not businesses. But that would only have happened under a socialist Labour government, there was no chance of the tories entertaining such a notion.

How would that fantasy prevent job losses?

Employers could still have furloughed their employees if they needed to, then brought them back when necessary.
