I'm not a state-aid expert by any stretch but I understand that state-aid rules differ depending upon the sector they relate to, perhaps banking & steel have different rules?There was nothing to stop the Government taking a stake in the business and as a result giving a cash injection / underwriting debt - see the banks as an example. What you are suggesting is that Corus just wanted to be given free money to stop their shareholding investment lowering in value. As a nation we still hold large investment in Natwest (formally Royal Bank of Scotland).
Just playing the gameI see what you're doing there
(I think.)
IR35 doesn't cut your pay by 20%.There's a bit of supposition there bm. Let me put it this way re ir35. If I had to take a 20% pay cut I would also look at other industries too.
Bartering could be the way forward. I'll swap half your tank of petrol for 8 tins of Whiskas and a pallet of broccoli. Win/win.Driving to Reading - a few services out of petrol - signed for miles in advance but saw very few garages closed off. I was held up at a Sainsburys on Friday evening in the Midlands behind a family filling their vehicle and then filling two petrol containers. I am surprised they didn't go into the kiosk and try to barter for the petrol with their year old toilet roll supply.

Petrol stations never normally run out, a pump out if use yes, a station with no petrol noNo BP alone have over 1200 stations Tesco have 600 filling stations. Its less than 2% of British filing stations were out of fuel before the panic buying.
In any given week its not uncommon for some petrol stations to have no fuel. How many times have you gone to fill up bear and see a pump out of order?
Let's have some perspective.
It cuts your ni burden massively because you pay that twice. It's cuts your income tax only if you are in the 40%bracket.IR35 doesn't cut your pay by 20%.

Surely the Petrol Stations can cap the pumps to £30. I put £30 in at ASDA, as that was all I needed, but the pump said take up to £99. I am certain the pumps knock off at 100 Ltrs, or they used to. So is the EG doing what it does best or did she stop and start which would mean she would be constantly be putting her card in and out.I see the Gazette are reporting a driver putting £217.44 worth of petrol into 8 Jerry cans. This is what causes shortages.
