Pay self-employed the same 80% wage payment as employed
The government should pay self employed people the same 80% payment as employed people during coronavirus pandemic
At the end of the day, self employed are being left high and dry, but when it’s time to pay back the government we have to be in the same boat at the employed! “double standards of note” Self employed people inject millions and millions into the economy and are get nothing in return!
