Not to say it’s right for billionaires to take advantage of it but if it helps protect jobs and the economy in the long run it might be worth it.
And that is the important part in all this to save ordinary folk from redundancy.
I think the name and shame should be made more often, to force people like Coogan, Branson , Posh Spice, Tim Martin and many more , to dig a bit deeper into thier very wealthy bank accounts to help
employees .

Most of those can’t even be trusted to pay their fair share of tax

Stop talking bollocks, you cock.
Is that better?
Re: Steve Coogan living the dream
I've got no issue with coogan doing this. Why should he be penalised for his past success. As long as he's a taxpayer that's all he's duty bound. The system was massively flawed but don't hate a player, hate the game.

That's a lot better , one should show some respect, you do learn quickly .
Re: Steve Coogan living the dream
We'll see how this comes out in the wash. I can't believe it's as cut and dried as it sounds. Steve Coogan is an inlegigent bloke. I would be surprised if he was guilty being so shortsighted and not having the self awareness to see this reaction coming. On the other hand, maybe he doesn't care.
Re: Steve Coogan living the dream
The scheme is absolutely necessary, the alternative would have been far far worse.
The vast majority of employers genuinely needed it (they would far rather their businesses be open and having to pay staff themselves) as do the vast majority of employees.
As with anything that's well intentioned, there are a minority that will abuse it and take the piss.

And the piss takers would probably have just sacked people if there wasn't this scheme.
I think the government were well intentioned with this, even if it wasn't perfect.
