Reconsider Self Employed to be eligible for grant earning over £50k in profit
To give grant to self employed who earn over £50,001 in profits. Not everyone has 'savings' due to individual personal financial circumstances.
The scheme rolled out today was biased. Those who are EMPLOYED earning more than £50,001 are eligible for the grant! How come this is not reciprocated towards self employed? Even if the grant was a little less so we wouldn't lose out! We all still pay our taxes and NI. Anyone paying taxes should be included. Please reconsider those who also work hard.
