Why was Boris Johnson trying to claim benefits in the first place?
He's the type who would.

I reported him to fraud a week ago for making a fake claim when he’s already getting money, now I’ve Suspended his new (fake) claim and reported him to the police, who are taking this shit very seriously.
It did feel quite good dobbing him in.Aye, he's in proper trouble for that, the pigs aren't taking that from anyone.
How illegal is it for an employer to furlough someone, but then make them work 2 hours a day and he then tops up their pay to 100%?
Not my employer fyi.
Thank you, that's what I have told have told my friend. I've said to report her boss to HMRC...would that be the right place?
Very.How illegal is it for an employer to furlough someone, but then make them work 2 hours a day and he then tops up their pay to 100%?

Yep I've told her to do that first. But apparently he's a total arsehole. I gave 3 options, talk to him, report him, do nothing and just moan about it and get more annoyed.Yes, but have a discussion first, surely!? Rather than just being cunty and potentially putting a business out of business (and no doubt losing her own income!)

Ooh interesting. I didn't realise that. So for everyone's job safety she needs to speak to him?If she’s goes along with it the issue is it’s fraud and if they’re ever found out shes then complicit.

Turns out he's related to them and seemed a bit put-out that they'd already told me three grand because that's mates rates for them for cash but he agreed to do it for that anyway and he'll accept a bank transfer.![]()
You were overdue a wee bit of good fortune tho', aye?

Hmmm. If I'm honest Octy the way my luck's been recently I wouldn't be surprised to wake up on Sunday morning in a pile of rubble with the house around my ears.![]()

That's right. You've got to be in it to win itDo we fail to get through to Thursday if we don't vote?
I do hope she tells him to pay up or fuck off.I got an email from an ex-client of ours asking me to restart their payroll scheme after they closed it in February and sacked us off. He wants to rehire the staff that they finished and put them on furlough. They still owe us over £2000 for work we've done over the last three years and they've never paid a penny of it (they got away with it because their parents have several companies with us so the boss had been a bit lax about chasing them up aggressively). He finished off his email saying that he feels a moral responsibility to help out his ex-staff who are all short of money. I forwarded the email to my boss (she says I'm too blunt about stuff like this so prefers to reply herself) with the note "maybe you should ask whether he feels he has a moral responsibility to pay our outstanding bills before asking us to do another shit-ton of work for him".

Just over four hours left. Get those votes in soon, kids.
