You’ve phrased this as if the employees are to blame. Companies without regulation behave poorly. This is why we need regulation and a robust public sector.

Those who won't vote Labour becuase off 'free-loaders', 'benefit-cheats', etc. Wonder how they will weigh up this, will they call on this government to come down hard with an investigation, and if not, will they change their voting views.

People are shameless to do fraudulent things in such difficult times .

Didn’t see that one coming, next you will be telling us many companies let employees go yet kept receiving the furlough money for them 🤷‍♂️

Is this a distraction from the Govt giving billions of pounds of contracts to their mates without a tender process? There’s a court case coming.

Should a local council be exposed if they sent a email saying a business doesn’t need a licence to serve/sell alcohol to members of the public welwyn hatfield council retweet

Isn't this just because a lot of companies furloughed only part of their workforce? I mean, I didn't read the article and I don't intend to, but this seems a fairly easy one to me.

About sums up the ethics of some businesses in the UK these days.

My company really struggled but we had bits of work & therefore couldn’t claim. This really annoys me. They should pay back or be prosecuted.

If you thought austerity was bad... wait until you get the bill for COVID! 583 Billion USD off the UK economy to flatten the curve! 88% of those impacted by this disease are in age range that puts them out of the workforce. A disease that will have no impact on 99.04% Wake up

Tut tut

If it saved these companies from closing then the furlough has been a success. The problems comes when it is claimed needlessly.

As Germany announced they were going to order furlough for 2 years UK announce a shit tonne of fraud. Who knew.

Furlough; Another economical disaster & the final nail in the British economy which is fast going south

We need to stop this sort of thing. Grrr!

This guy is a total imbecile.
