People seem to forget how things were done in WWII.
I had a gut feel that yesterday's numbers were low for a reason, and given the timing of this information. I expect Boris to announce some further measures on Friday to ensure that the weekend public aren't all out & about at the same time. What we're seeing could be an impact of last weekend's lack of social distancing.According to the Department of Health and Social Care, these are only the results from 9am yesterday until 5pm yesterday, not the results from today. Very bad day yesterday

Yea they actually ignore dividends dont they?
Doing nothing wrong in my eyes. They are social distancing. People walking their dogs in the countryside is not spreading the virus. It's spreading rapidly in London because thats where there is the most concentration of people especially on public transport.
I can refer you to an excellent mortgage broker if you need mate, drop me a PM.
The people who do it with the primary motivation of paying less tax - as opposed to business operations reasons like @Redlambs - should receive fewer benefits from the government. That seems fair enough, right?
vorsprung durch technik?
Its not testing by choice. Struggling to imagine what the rationale would be especially by not testing healthcare staff
Fewer shitheads among the general population is more likely.
I doubt many people get into running their own businesses with tax as their sole motivation. People need to stop pretending that these things are simple and black/white.
Dumb question: why is early detection helping to keep the death rate low? Seeing as there's no vaccine yet, is there a certain medicine people with the virus are given to slow its spread in the body?
If it's detected early, those people can be isolated and not spread it to others. The fewer people who have it, the fewer people will die.
Just say: thank you, Boris
All of the figures have varying degrees of testing at different stages. Germany is testing plenty, finding mild symptoms of the disease, those people recovering and therefore lower death rate. Compare it to the UK that is testing is only happening for those which need medical assistance, which in some cases lends itself to a more serious outcome in terms of the death rate.
Early detection and tracing those in contact allows for targeted control of disease spread.
Even if thay was fair, which it is, this isn't it.
Here are things to consider regarding the Oxford study I mentioned:
Seems to be some confusion over this now - which was first reported by Newsnight.
Are people really on twitter, posting under their real names, admitting they've been cheating the tax system?!
That makes a lot of sense, I was thinking about early medication for the victim and not spreading it. Cheers
It's actually harder to do than people think.
Sure, they don't start up their businesses to pay less tax. They do choose to register as a Ltd. company rather than as a sole trader to pay less tax, though. That one fundamental decision is made for that singular reason, in many cases.
Nope. What the “ltd” stands for is a big hint as to the main reason most people do that, as well as the ability to retain reserves with the company for cashflow etc rather than everything being taxed on a “look through” basis such as with an LLP.
I honestly wish I was a sole Trader. Not an option when I started, but that and being VAT registered (which I want to drop) is a nightmare.
Been waiting for this. Had a search of netflix last week for it.
Yes, being able to manage the flow is the biggest reason for me.

PM if you want any advice on your vat issue..I honestly wish I was a sole Trader. Not an option when I started, but that and being VAT registered (which I want to drop) is a nightmare.
People don't realise the stress of big tax bills 5 times a year is over saving a little bit. Even then, Vat doesn't actually save me feck all, I actually end up paying to be a tax collector
I'm amazed that they're not replacing this with something a bit more palatable at the moment, like A Serbian Film or Human Centipepe.
Yeah there are business reasons to choose to be an Ltd. Loads of people also do it purely to pay less tax. I'm a freelancer and I know a lot of people in an identical position to me that chose to become an Ltd for that reason. Lots of friends and coworkers that had no other motivation but that. My uncle's a financial adviser who tried to sell me on the idea, and he has hundreds of clients who do it simply for that benefit. It's not just me buying the government line, I do have genuine - if limited - experience of it, as I imagine you do.
In the nearest town to me, wearing clothes that cover their arse cracks and bellies (plural) would be welcome to.
Too true.
Sure there’s always going to be a few cases as with everything but the general point which started this discussion is that people unreasonably tar all company director/shareholders with the same brush.
haha.
