Thought so.
Reading Festival think they're going ahead this year in August too. Maybe we will be able to open up much more when most people are vaccinated, but I find it hard to believe right now. |  |

I can think of much better uses for the fruit of the money tree. |  |

Shock as Guardian supports alarmist position.
I don't think the sector needs it. It needs people to be allowed out of their houses. We are doing great stuff with the vaccination rollout but it was never the silver bullet. [Post edited 25 Feb 2021 10:17]

Hmmm, it is kind of interesting, from the Party that brought us “..unemployment is a price worth paying....if it isn’t hurting it isn’t working,.. He got on his bike and looked for work...”, they now see the wisdom of injecting money into an economy to get it moving. |  | | |

You've spelt 'injecting money into the beerocracy who are die-hard tory supporters' slightly wrongly.
So I've corrected it for you. |  |

Utter nonsense. All shops and hospitality outlets revive regular visits from environmental health to check that they are compliant. Those who aren’t are given a list of what they need to do before a follow up in seven days time. |
Definitely not the case here.
We’ve completed risk assessments for our various businesses but none of the premises have received a single visit. |  | | |

Is it retail sector? Essential or non essential?
Our retail doors are shut, click and collect only - but I often spot the Stasi outside peering in. |  |

It was the Govt position last week, spouted by various ministers to get the Unions onboard with opening.
The Guardian are reporting it, as is every other media outlet. | | | |

Mostly non essential retail but also catering attached and various other things too.
Obviously closed at the moment but I haven’t seen anyone from any enforcement body since this whole sh1tstorm started. | | | |

Given that the evidence is at best inconclusive about its impact last time, in the same way the masses of people on Bournemouth beach had no impact though I remember you saying at the time it was madness and wait 2 weeks for the consequences, I think that in your desperation to post this with a negative spin you are forgetting that this time it will be done against the back drop of the vaccine success.
Are you suggesting no promotions should be allowed post lockdown for an industry that is desperate and on its knees? |
No desperation to spin it negatively at all. I leave that to the medics and researchers.
As i've said before on here my less than rose-tinted view on this is due to my wife's chemo and my job that is impacted every day by the nonsense.

"The government initiative, which cost around £500 million, caused a significant rise in new infections in August and early September accelerating the pandemic into its current second wave. The economic benefits of the scheme, meanwhile, were short-lived." | | | |

I suppose the validity of that is determined by whether you class an increase of between 8 and 17% as a “significant rise” | | | |

It'll be a short term thing. I was going to say I doubt they'll make the connection between stimulation and growth and will be back to austerity before you know it. But that may not be right, as I think austerity is getting a bit of a hammering these days globally and more countries are looking to stimulate their economies (the States certainly are now Trumpie's gone) . | |

Would have thought keeping VAT at a lower rate was more likely.
We now have the freedom, post Brexit, to be more flexible with VAT might see some other VAT changes in the Budget. |  |

Given the medical experts appeared to say this was a source of the spike first time round, why would you do it again?
Maybe if the pubs have the vaccine passport in place by then, it makes sense |
How many people were vaccinated last time? | | | |
