Default Watch Out For The Parasites

At this time when lots of people will be feeling worried and appeal to others for help, watch out for the scum who will come out.

There will be those who are out to get your personal details online, there will be others out there pretending to be helpful but trying to gain access.

Also we will witness those who use the Governmental offers of financial help, and others who offer to assist in gaining it for those who are not savvy to claim their entitlements.

Stay safe, stay alert.

Nowadays they are called Hedge Fund managers, but it gives them some funds to donate to political parties to enable the whole mess to perpetuate.

Vultures!

Local shops by us are just the same, in fact they tend to know you by name and ask how you are coping etc, it's the supermarkets you need to watch making out they doing this and that but if you check out the prices they slip in 25p or even 50p price rises.

I note the Asda by us since this as been going on, they do not sell loo roll below £6.00 Morrisons are no better, hopefully the public will take note and then vote with their money and feet when we come out of the other side.

Same here Simon. A new Coop opened in my village and the staff there are really nice and over the short period they’ve been open the staff always ask how I am and were very supportive when I lost my mother recently. All this is really making me think which business's I’ll be supporting when we eventually come through this and it certainly won’t be the supermarkets who so blatantly made huge profits at the start of all this. You’d need to be blind to not see what was happening and they should have stepped in sooner to prevent the bulk buying that was going on and the poorer people unable to purchase stuff, I for one won’t be forgetting that

Speaking of parasites! The deadbeat fraternity have been up to their usual criminal ways stealing cars & ended up in the canal, The police fished one out of the canal, two others escaped.
