hopefully it will change how UK spends wealth - my mrs and friends work for NHS and been on its knees for last 15 years.....social care is a joke and UK thinks private companies will sort frail and vulnerable - but care homes closing - child care is a joke and most expensive in world and as for internet and broadband to help people work at home it is 3rd world......BUT UK like to spend on wars, trident,nuclear weapons, £3.5 Billion on a new aircraft carrier.....the rich and powerful get richer and tax relief to buy super boats......TIME UK WOKE UP AND SPENT OUR TAXES ON THINGS THAT MATTER MOST AND TO IMPROVE OUR OVERALL LIFE QUALITY......SO HOPEFULLY THIS VIRUS WILL BE A WAKE UP CALL....BUT I DOUBT IT....

Cancelling trident may be a no-no at this point, but overall, less could be spent on defence; we're at war with viruses which will kill us faster than people!

The argument against a levy on the Stock Market is proving a fraudulent one. Your Googles, FBs and the like could and should be paying more since we all, to some degree, use their services at some point.

And yes, like or not, Corbyn's Labour was actually on the money for wanting and needing to fund the NHS.

Pretty much I've been saying on here that we've never needed nurses or doc from abroad. We have all we need right here, but the stresses and work-to-life balance for poor pay is what puts people off or sends them abroad.

People who work for the NHS, keeping it going, keeping people alive are pretty much unappreciated.

The nations 'heroes' are footballers, 'celebs', hedge fund manager and bankers.

Just feels like a massive middle finger to we NHS workers (and we just want our worth).

Says it all right there.

Absolutely no way would I spend less on defence. Not with the lunatic states out there.

As I’ve said I would take it from things such as trident and controversial but foreign aid. Although foreign aid isn’t a great amount but we need to strip it from somewhere. Foreign aid should be used for crisis situations and more targeted.

I agree, I know NHS workers and it must be very tough in a lot of areas. We need more money and structural change imo.

Too right, we need to keep our eye on those loon pot Yanks !
 
I think this thing already has changed the world. The Budget of last week was based on information which bore nothing to any reality a week later. An American government seems to be considering sending cheques through the post to ordinary people...that's an American Government, led by Trump! So ...at the base level, people do seem to actually matter. A tory minister has stated 'Whatever it takes'...all delivered in a competent manner, in stark contrast to his side kick, the PM Boris. Anymore appearances by that Chancellor giving a performance like he did today will see him given a lordship and moved out of view. A 'king' does not like to be outshone by one of their subjects. Just these little changes may hopefully see broader changes in the future. Am sure people will not want to face such measures as they are facing again on the scale that this thing has wrought. If that's the case then there is hope for a better future for all.
 
Just listening to the obligatory 5 mins of ads every 10 mins on the radio, and just wondering who in a months time will be advertising anything? Unless these are long advance payment contracts commercial radio and tv might struggle.
 
We are only now seeing just how much money is available to governments the world over with even more available if its needed so hopefully yes, we will see a different world but im a realist and know it wont happen.
