Allow self-employed the same right as everyone else that is furloughed - 80% pay
With them the new lockdown on the arisen, and people being furloughed with 80% pay. Allow the self-employed to claim the same instead of the 40% quoted now! They still have to pay bills, they still have mortgages and rent on buildings!
This isn’t fair for the self-employed to suffer. A lot of the country as we know is self-employed. And it is only fair. Discrimination at its finest!
