Hoarding Covid business loans.

What the fuck are people supposed to do?

Spend money on extra stock? Refurbishment? its there to cover expenses and staff costs. It's there when we need it - its not an invite to buy a fucking BMW.

This money is there to shore up a business, so it avoids insolvency. But the irony is of course that you get maximum bang for your buck by declaring insolvency - because the loan is guaranteed by the government. As Mandy would say, its a moral trap.

Keeping money you have for when you need it isn't stupid. You could have been a Tier Two restaurant in London laying in the truffles and oysters for Christmas Eve with that money.

Running as close to a bare bones operation as you can means you will be here to pay that money back.

But apparently the government don't care. Daily Mail certainly doesn't. I guess we now know that both organisations would prefer people to say fuck it and saddle somebody else with the bill.

Because that's what they'd do.
