All Self Employed tobe given mandatory mortgage holidays during forced isolation
While the forced lock down in the UK is in operation all Self Employed workers who have been forced to not work or have work diminished to a rate that is no longer sustainable should all be giving mortgage holiday for the period at which they can work. All banks to be forced to offer this service
There are over 7 Million people that have seen their income disappear over night with no other means of paying the bills. 10% of the UK population are being forced to live off nothing for an unknown length of time. A period of time that will bankrupt millions of people. With no benefits or sick pay to help them out how unfair and uncaring is a system they helped support for years can not give them anything back in return or a few months.
