The other night I enjoyed a very nice glass of port with some cheese and crackers. After I had finished the port, my daughter discovered that not all ports are suitable for my vegetarian lifestyle, and in fact this particular one may well have contained gelatin. The wave of guilt that passed over me was immense, knowing I had accidentally betrayed my morals and consumed an animal product. To this end, I ask that it to be made law that the manufacturers/distributors of all alcoholic beverages must clearly label whether the product is suitable for vegans, vegetarians, kosher, etc., or perhaps more to the point, these products should all have these logos on their labels, but they should have a clear and unambiguous line through them if they do not apply.

NHS Staff do a Grand job for all the patients in Hospitals and they should be OFFERED Badges with their Name which they can display in the Windscreens so that they get FREE parking all the time they are on duty

Thousands of families have been landed with funeral costs prematurely for family who have died from Civid 19.

Homeless people are one of the most vulnerable parts of our society. The UK government provided funding to accommodate them during the crisis. It would be inhumane to stop the funding now and send them on the streets again.

The Office for Budget Responsibility estimates that The Chancellor of the Exchequer will have to borrow £300bn to pay for the economic actions taken to address Covid-19. [1] A freeze of public sector workers would be a snub to those workers who risked their own lives and lives of their families to keep us all safe and society ticking over in these unprecedented times. Public sector workers should not have to bear the brunt of the UKs economic recovery actions when revenue from Tax Avoidance actions taken by large corporations would provide annual and sustainable increases in funds available to the UK government. Profits for large corporations should be capped until the money borrowed to support them during Covid-19 has been repaid in full. In 2018 Netflix clocked up worldwide revenues of $20bn and by our reckoning around £1.1bn of that will have been from subscribers in the UK. However, they received a Tax Credit form the UK government. [2] Amazon is not required to publish the accounts of its UK branch, meaning it is impossible to scrutinise the amount of tax it pays on profits generated here. However, it has a UK-based logistics arm, Amazon UK Services, which paid £4.6m in corporation tax in 2017 on reported profits of £80m. [3] In 2017 Starbucks paid tax equivalent to 2.8%. This equates to $5.9 million on a profit of $213 million. [4] The tax rate on corporate profits in 2017 was 19 per cent.

Many thousands of woman are single with low income or no income when we hit 60!

It is important because everyday frontline workers everywhere are going out to work and are put in a hazardous life changing danger ! At least pay them what they deserve

There are so many of us who have fallen through THE HUGE GAP of the self-employed income support scheme (SEISS) because we were either; not self-employed during 2018/19, or our self-employed earnings were less than 50% of our employed and self-employed earnings, combined in 2018/19. if the eligibility doesn't take into consideration self-employed profit (earnings) for 2019/20, then why can't this category of self-employed people have financial support based on their tax paid earnings during 2018/19, if they were self-employed during 2019/20 and still intending to trade in 2020/21. Just like the millions of self-employed people who will be eligible for the SEISS, and calculated based on their profit (earnings) of up to £50k in 2018/19 - this category of people don't have to have submitted their 2019/20 self-assessment to qualify for the SEISS; how does HMRC even know if they were even trading in 2019/20. I went full-time self-employed early 2019 and my taxable profits, after business expenses were just shy of £11,000. I intend to trade again as soon as possible in 2020/21. More frustratingly, I paid tax on £32000 in 2018/19 for my employed AND self-employed earnings combined, but I am not eligible to claim the SEISS because my self-employed earnings on their own for 2018/19, were less than 50% of my over-all earnings, and they're not taking into consideration 2019/20 profit (earnings)! How is this right or fair on the 1000's of people who fall into the same category as me? It's simply outrageous and the treasury needs to step up, re-think and support us too. Many of us will have been paying tax and national insurance on our earnings for most of our adult lives which could be as long as 40 years + and therefore contributing to the state, but when we need help the most, the state is abandoning us. The only other options for self-employed in this 'in limbo category' is to take out some kind of government backed loan, if indeed you can get one, BUT that has to be paid back. Yet millions of businesses are able to pay their furloughed staff up to 80% of their salary, regardless if they have been employed for 1 month or 20 years of their lives as at 19 March 2020 - They will NOT HAVE TO PAY THIS MONEY BACK. Millions of self-employed who are eligible for the SEISS, will be able to get up to £2500 per month for 3 months based on their profits (earnings) for 2018/19 - They will NOT HAVE TO PAY THIS MONEY BACK. The government have encouraged people to become entrepreneurs over recent years, which has positively contributed to the reduction in the unemployment rate, and now, many of us feel abandoned and had this thrown back in our faces. I'm sure, like me, 1000's of people have worked hard to get their businesses off the ground, with things starting to take off before COVID-19 hit us and we need something to be done to help us in order to stay afloat during these very difficult times.

A cat may not have good road sentence but after all , it’s still a living animal , some pet and part of the family . It’s unfair that people get away with this , as it’s very upsetting to lose a pet

These business will not survive unless they get the grant

Carer's are risking their lives to help people that are dying from the Coronavirus and they should be supported when they get sick themselves.

The Government has used warlike terminology throughout this crisis and should now do what it would do after a violent war by remembering all those who gave their lives for their fellow citizens, and holding a rememberance service once a year like the one we currently have at the Cenotaph.
