@flexghost But ... isn't this the USA? The Land Of Free Enterprise? Where private businesses are perfectly free to go bust if that's what they want to do? Where bailing out a failed private business is regarded as "nanny state socialism" (or, even worse, "European")? Is anyone seriously suggesting a bail-out?
@TimWardCam @flexghost I doubt US Gov would, but I fear .gov.uk might.
Welcome to GOV.UK

GOV.UK - The best place to find government services and information.

@gruff @flexghost With gov.uk there's the £85k rule. Which everybody knows about, so can't be a surprise to anyone who's got more than £85k. But of course as that's an EU leftover it's being abolished soon.
