Andrew ,
thank you for the response, fairly much what I expected from you to be honest because I believe and have said the same on many threads you can not see any good anywhere in a Tory Party regardless of what they do and say, so I believe you are not looking at anything objectively but merely from one single almost fanatical belief but we will see in the future as we move forward.
Regarding C-19, I think pretty much everyone believes there is no easy fix and we will be out of it in May/June and starting to recover, more waves are to be expected until vaccine or heard saturation hits with everyone hoping and praying for the former.
We totally agree no way the economy anywhere will simply bounce back in the vast majority of countries. We agree many people will suffer economically, how about the people 2019 bought a second home 2019 with the intent of investing life savings in total safety of bricks and mortar say in London, large second mortgage to be paid back by rent, but you're advocating rents are to be suspended, so what happens then?
I think much of the billions going to ordinary people will end back up in the economy, don't believe many are going to be upgrading cars or homes, groceries etc. will/should be first port of call, millions still in work won't hardly see a blip except be glad to get into work again. Many more millions on furlough will help for them to keep going without going in to debt, hopefully majority get back in full time.
So we have millions out of work, much more than before totally agree, therefore we need to provide the stimulus for new jobs, I personally don't care what someone did in 2019/18/17 etc., I care what they do in 2020 and will judge them off that, and if they don't provide that stimulus and try to go to austerity I promise I'll stand beside you shouting shame/shame, change.
The economy and recovery I am looking at with some companies is showing 35% down on Q1 2020, for Q2&3, Q4 30% down, Q2 2021 is 20% down with Q4 2021 back to Q1 2020. This is across similar industries and there is optimist growth across the same period through energy transition, admittedly that is global and not just UK. What I do know is a lot of people will be trying there hardest to make the recover happen but in total agreement Governments everywhere are the catalyst to this.
H2S I hope is part of what I hope to see going forward.
