Monday thread

Fears the global recession could be longer and deeper than thought pushed US oil prices below US$20 a barrel for the first time in 18 years.

I reckon we're looking at a long recession obviously due to the Corona crisis.

By all accounts it's going to get worse before it's better.

Any good news, apart from Ath's wife being barred from eating Fruit scones?

Was just getting over Brexit and now this. As always Scotland will be hardest hit.

Great idea not to go independent

Fatal for 1% or complete bollox for the remaining 99% for years to come?

Real decisions for real people. They are trying to steer a course. Not easy.

You're deliberately missing the point and trying in an inept fashion to bring emotion into the discussion.

So whilst no, you nor I would put a price on any of our loved one's heads; the world just doesn't and couldn't work like that.

Two UK companies have just fallen into administration, as the Covid-19 crisis continues to damage the British economy.

Brighthouse, the rent-to-own electricals giant, and restaurant chain Carluccio’s have both entered administration, putting more than 4,000 jobs at risk.

Both suffered a slump in customer numbers since the government instructed people to stay at home, and non-essential shops to shut.

Carluccio’s, which has 73 branches and about 2,000 employees, has been on the brink of administration for days -- a restaurant group can’t operate for long with no customers. It had already been forced to shut 30 loss-making sites in 2018.
