Where Does The Money Do Too?

[Barsel]

When people are fined for breaking the Covid rules, where does the money go too?

[piggynose]

Do too?

[JimF]

Barsel means "go to".

[gulliver1]

Conservative Benefit Fund ?.

[fiction-factory]

Where do you think it might go, Barsel, if not to the Treasury?

[Bobbisox1]

And they have to claw the billions spent back somehow , it's not a free ride for furloughed etc, it has to be paid for

[fiction-factory]

I suspect the money is peanuts though bobbisox and much of the income will be swallowed up in admin costs. It's really just a deterrent

[Bobbisox1]

I'm sure it is FF but nothing is free gratis , things will be very difficult bin the future I fear

Silly predictive text

[fiction-factory]

I think the government's preference would be for full compliance so no fines were necessary. In practice there will be some non-compliance (well, quite a bit actually from the selfish, the disbelievers or those that like to challenge authority wherever they can- and I'm not counting the few cases where 7 or 8 people meet up for a family birthday), so the hope is that a few large fines reported in the press will deter others who are considering breaching the rules/law.

I've never understood why anybody uses predictive text. It's a hindrance, not a help.

After a decade+ of austerity where has the money gone?
Certainly not back into England

[Bobbisox1]

Err not everyone was/is a Teacher JD and especially on here you'd get picked up for your spelling etc

Yes, Baldric, of course the government needs to recoup over a hundred billion pounds but that will be done over time via taxes and maybe spending cuts or longer term borrowing, not by the odd fine/fixed penalty notice of £60. Even if a million fines are issued next month the £60million would probably cover about one hour's furlough costs

[Bobbisox1]

Where's Baldric? On here ?

He's behind you

[fiction-factory]

Ha- Bobbi nor Baldric. Damn predictive text.

[gulliver1]
