The furlough scheme has been a fucking disaster from a financial point of view. The treasury refused to allow HMRC to put anti-fraud checks in place, which would have taken about 5 days, because they wanted to roll it out straight away. The result of this has been a cost to the tax payer to the tune of billions due to fraudulent claims that could have been stopped, nevermind there is absolutely nothing in place to sort out how this is going to be paid for once furlough is over. Just borrowing money and throwing it at a problem is all good and well until the bill turns up. We're royally fucked.
it’s mental how many people are know are getting huge Goverment payouts still whilst working and have other income - so many can’t believe their luck.
