It's already in place! People currently on benefits have been receiving £500 since April! It's just getting expanded to full-time workers. But what you say is true though. I'm on Working Tax Credits, I work 25 hours per wek, what's stopping me from going around licking public toilet seats to get £500?

How many public toilet seats would you be prepared to lick for £500? We could get a GoFundMe going

it was the lead story on newsnight and all the papers slammed it so Tory’s pulled it I’d say. A lot of heat now over the gap between vaccines as some nursing home patients have got covid despite having one shot !!!

In Victoria, we get $450 dollars just for getting tested and isolating until a negative test is returned. It’s for lost wages for the days you’re isolating but tests on average come back in 24 hours. And if you do test positive you receive $1500 dollars. I thought they would have got rid of this because there’s so little cases but i claimed my $450 last week due to being stuck in a different state. If the UK were to roll it out to everyone the £500, people would be out to catch it. Although, for now as you posted it’s not for everyone...yet.

The problem is for the people who are eligible in the UK, it's like a well done for catching it.
In my situation I'd get £500 for catching it, 4 weeks of Tax Credits as per normal and then after 14 days I'd just work for the remaining 50 hours. If I were to go around licking public toilet seats I would earn close to 2 grand for that month - About £1600, it's madness  Can understand why they'd do it for full-time workers, it's 80 hours work lost, which assuming on a minimum wage is about £680.

Errr its only 60-70% effective at 2 doses at the manufactuers recommended interval . The UK have done neither they are hoping 1 dose provides some effectiveness that it could well do but it will be well down on the 60-70% figure as they aren't following the guidelines. and it give eejits who read the English press a warm glow that they are leading the way on Vaccinations in the western world |

As in Ireland, it is not illegal to not wear masks outdoors in the UK. So surprise surprise, they're not worn. In France and Italy, it is illegal to not wear masks outdoors. Despite being forced to wear them, thousands still contract and die from the virus there every week. Lockdown is probably the most effective tool to drive infections and death rates down. Nothing else seems to work. How long the public can cope with it is a different matter.

I've got €20 with your name on it for a vid of you licking a public toilet seat Coyner. We can hit the £500 mark by this evening with some decent marketing. I'll obviously need to take a cut as your agent on this project.

You're cracking me up laughing today MC Hammered. Unfortunately it'll be hard to market as it's not a new thing in Dublin as toilet seat licking as already been done plus a bit more such as car door licking and train seat licking. We gotta find something exclusive now.
