People haven't "used Covid to get a lot of time off work on full pay", many have HAD to self isolate because they've got Coronavirus, they've been pinged, and they've obeyed the law. During the long periods of lockdown, people were ringing up the radio stations I listened to were really struggling with the boredom of lockdown, or had serious problems with their mental health. Nobody enjoyed lockdown. I think there is an effort to portray some people as lazy scroungers, but when it comes to those who have defrauded the tax system out of billions in furlough - oh well, we'll write that £4.3 billion off, it'd only be spent on benefits to those who'd pi$$ it up the wall anyway Everyone has been hungover and called in to work sick Whats stopping people using Covid as an excuse to get out of work? Especially those who are members of Unions Sick pay is abused in the NHS and costs the taxpayer Billions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
