£500 voucher for retail and hospitality

[Hank Scorpio]

Just put a list of exclusions on them.

I think he means people will sell the vouchers and then use the cash to buy drink, tabs and drugs.

So just another £30 billion or so coming out of thin air?

They did that in Malta. @Its Him Again was on about it.

We are still waiting for them

My only problem with this is you'll get scratters selling them for half price to buy fags and booze.

Pass them my way I will pay 250 for 500 pound voucher so they can have there tabs and booze

We are still waiting for them

I'm still waiting for the cycling maintenance voucher that was promised back in May.

 

[Billericay Dichio]

Massive inflationary boost.

Surely thats even better for the economy? An additional £250 spent. Well done you.

Could we club them all together and buy Sunderland (the club that is, not the city)

That was my thought behind it all, get the economy moving and get me some nice stuff at 25 percent discount

Don't understand why we just don't do a universal credit payment

Cos lots of folk will either save the money and not spend it or spend it online and not on the industry's that need it

 

[Lexingtongue]

So what would we be able to spend these on if we got them then?

 

[0321safc]

I would sell mine and horde the money. My spending going to be ultra-cautious from here on in.

Magic Money Tree IIRC

 

[PTR]

Just cut VAT back to what it was before the emergency rise following the 2008 financial crash. That'll put money back in people's pockets without creating a short term boom with no longer term backing to it.

Hookers and blow.
