Why won’t Boris force bars, clubs and restaurants to close?

I have a theory - feedback appreciated...

Boris is basically appealing to the public to avoid public places and thereby starving pubs and restaurants of customers by suggestion. This means the businesses has to close down temporarily (or permanently) as a result of a loss of turnover and simply “going out of business.”

So what if the Govt passed emergency legislation and demanded that these businesses closed for say 90 days. My theory is that in this instance, the small businesses may have a valid insurance claim because they were forced to close down. I don’t know if Force Majeur would apply but collectively - all affected businesses could collectively act together to get a result.

I think that Johnson has just given the insurance companies a defacto bailout at the cost of hundreds of thousands of small businesses.

Would appreciate some feedback from small business owners who rely on footfall and who are insured.

All go to pub, all contract Corona, one massive shared experience.

We can live off the war stories for decades to come.

Pull up a sandbag young 'un and let me tell you my experiences in the Corona wars, no panic buying required.

It’s about time people took responsibility for their own health instead of blaming everything on the government. You wanna go to a bear/ restaurant ? - go right ahead. You wanna stay home ?. No probs. By now , even the stupid ppl know the problem / the risks. So make your own fucking choices . Snowflakes

This is 100% accurate. About the insurance companies that the Conservative party represent.

I know several small venue owners. And they are fucked unless he tells them to shut.

I believe you are absolutely hitting it on the nail. Always follow the money.....There will be ever more decisions made with exactly that in mind.

How does that answer the question raised in the post?

Is this Boris giving the insurance companies a defacto bailout?

Remember that Gordon Brown bailed out the banks in 2008 to protect big business. There is an argument that the economy and the balance sheet of UK PLC would be in better shape today had he given every man, woman and child £100,000.

So what so we expect from a Conservative Govt? Helping out small businesses and ordinary people - or helping the insurance companies?

I don’t know if this is correct but apparently if the government orders pubs clubs etc to close then they are liable to cover the cost of loss of warnings

Boris is obviously such a greedy stupid cunt that he doesn’t want to do that - so nobody goes out, places go out of business which means more unemployed more benefits being paid out and taxes go up to cover the increase

Well done Boris good chap

Personally can't see the point in shuting bars and restaurants if he's not gonna stop public transport or other places of work as its just as easy if not easier to catch it from those too

Everyone has a choice about visiting a bar or restaurant but if he's allowing places of work to remain open then most people need money to pay bills and mortgages these won't halt during the crisis so many will continue to work

There is no right or wrong answer here. The government will be damned if they don't act to help small business's and damned if they do. This virus has burrowed it's way into the big flaw in capitalism. The chinese have shown that an authoritarian state with a sort of pseudo capitalism, with communism flavours can succeed in delaying or defeating this virus. I doubt very much if we can have the same discipline to do the same. We have led too cushy a life.

"I have a theory - feedback appreciated...

Boris is basically appealing to the public to avoid public places and thereby starving pubs and restaurants of customers by suggestion. This means the businesses has to close down temporarily (or permanently) as a result of a loss of turnover and simply “going out of business.”

So what if the Govt passed emergency legislation and demanded that these businesses closed for say 90 days. My theory is that in this instance, the small businesses may have a valid insurance claim because they were forced to close down. I don’t know if Force Majeur would apply but collectively - all affected businesses could collectively act together to get a result.

I think that Johnson has just given the insurance companies a defacto bailout at the cost of hundreds of thousands of small businesses.

Would appreciate some feedback from small business owners who rely on footfall and who are insured."

I think that once he and Dom realised that the 'herd immunity' approach was going to leave the NHS crippled and too many people dead, they've had to revise their plans and are now making up policy on the hoof. They are not thinking things through properly before making decisions, and making mistakes like this along the way.

Or he could be in the pockets of the insurance companies. Who knows with Johnson?

So we now need to be told whether we can go to a pub or not, why cant people use their brains to consider their options and make a decision for ourselves, and if you think businesses can claim on insurance to cover their losses think again, most policies will have clauses to exclude loss of earnings from this sort of cause and even if they dont where the hell do you think they will get the money from ? It's like all the idiots that think they will get their holiday money back, everyone paying £50 to cover a 2 grand holiday and then thinking they will all get 2 grand back, even diane abbott can work out they the insures will all go bust they just dont have the funds to cover it ( ok perhaps diane couldnt work it out)

"No clue. Not a labour party supporter. Labour are not in power.

You can attempt to deflect attention to another political party all you like. But that doesn't somehow magically make the Tories any better.

im not attempting to deflect from anything all i see you do on here is bash the tories which you are in your right to do but not coming up with an alternative solution suggests to me you are either obsessed with boris or just anti establishment.

"Personally can't see the point in shuting bars and restaurants if he's not gonna stop public transport or other places of work as its just as easy if not easier to catch it from those too

Everyone has a choice about visiting a bar or restaurant but if he's allowing places of work to remain open then most people need money to pay bills and mortgages these won't halt during the crisis so many will continue to work

There is no right or wrong answer here. The government will be damned if they don't act to help small business's and damned if they do. This virus has burrowed it's way into the big flaw in capitalism. The chinese have shown that an authoritarian state with a sort of pseudo capitalism, with communism flavours can succeed in delaying or defeating this virus. I doubt very much if we can have the same discipline to do the same. We have led too cushy a life.

There is a right answer for big corporations.

Which is the wrong answer for normal people.

Welcome to the Tory party. They get voted in again and again, no matter how many ordinary people suffer or die. The literally could not give a fuck about anybody or anything apart from the corporate interests they represent.

I thought the "ordinary people" voted them in. Time after time.

Some of the "leftist" comments on here recently have been rather cringeworthy. Unless the left sort themselves out, then they aren't even going to be close to having a turn... For a very long while. "

I agree. Trying to score party political points while we face a national crisis is not going to win many votes for the left. Whilst I often agree with a lot of what thet say now is not the time for party politics. Where we think the government has got it wrong, whether it's school closers, area lockdowns, salary subsidies, border controls or anything else we should say so, but all this Tory bashing just looks partisan to me. Now is not the time.

You're almost asking the right questions...

Why did "ordinary" people vote them in.

That's the point."

Because, rightly or wrongly, they believed the alternative offered by Jeremy and his friends would have been even worse. Of the people I canvases back in December last year, of those that didn't want a Tory BREXIT most wanted even less a Corbyn Government. That's why the Tories won. They had most of the BREXIT and most of the ABC vote too (Anyone But Corbyn).

It's hard to compare the outbreak country to country as different cultures behave and interact in different ways.

Also the mortality statistics are interesting too, it seems to be more deadly to Italians whereas Romania has yet to claim a single fatality from the virus?

That is your point of view,yes this crisis will undo the 10 years of austerity but has put the government in a lot better position to help the uk in its hour of need.No of course it wont backfire with the electorate as the majority are just normal sensible people who understand the situation.

There is unfortunately going to be more austerity when this is all over or a large tax hike that is inevitable what ever government was in power.You dont need to clarify that i think i worked that out by myself .If you dont think we will all be paying for this for years to come you are deluded.

You mean apart from follow all the medical and scientific advice? Or be prepared to amend strategy based on changing advice and improving knowledge? Or any of the emergency measures bought in over the last weeks? I'm sure the self confessed fab experts will have lots

Personally I would like to think who ever was in power would have done the same, but I fear not.

Maybe more than a clown

What do you think he would have done differently?"

You could just look at what Labour are saying. If you genuinely wanted to know.

Just had a quick google, Corbyn is refusing to self isolate, also heard David Blunket on radio earlier this week also saying he won’t be taking himself out of the firing line and it was his right to become a burden on the NHS.

McDonald says he would have underwritten 90% of wages, really just political posturing.

Would be genuinely interested to know any other measures that the government could do.

Though of course it’s easy to say what you would have done when you have hindsight and no responsibility

Phil..

Well there you go. You didn't seem to find most of the stuff that they said.

Would appear that you looked for stuff to bash them with.

Personally I think the government was a little slow to react. Ireland for example, acted quicker. And it would be good to see some more help for self employed people.

Other than that they've made the right calls (except the herd immunity thing).

They could probably stop trying to make life hard for non-uk nationals who work in the NHS. But that's not specific to the reaction to the pandemic.

So basically you agree with the government then.

With what? I don't especially care what Labour say, or if you read what they said or not.

They spoke live on the news a few times that I saw in the last few days.

I was more interested in talking about the governments reaction.

And I am interested how conservative party supporters feel about what they're doing. It's a huge swing towards socialism. Not my words Lynn. The words of the Telegraph news paper.

Actually don’t worry, pointless arguments aren’t going to help anyone.

I’m only going to post positive posts from now on.

Stay safe everyone

Ah right got it now, you you think because the telegraph says its a huge swing to socialism that tory supports might feel the same.Personally i dont think it is,the government is doing under extremely exceptional circumstances what is needed for the country to recover quickly and business to thrive.

So you're saying that helping people is just a way to indirectly support big business?
