Cleaners, nannies, & child minders , all these little self employed people who have been shafted in this bailout, it's just stinks doesn't it, clean your own homes and watch your own kids your stuck at home anyway. Going house to house is a stupid idea.

I'm a caretaker for a local council and we have had to work throughout the lockdown and the only extra PPEs we were given was a box of latex gloves.

That's a strange - sorry, I mean stupid - question. It's not 100% 'safe' for anyone to be in work, but it's up to employers to make work environments as safe as is practically possible. Many have been working and are still working thru this crisis... shopworkers for example.

No it’s not! I own a cleaning business, so I cannot visit my auntie or mum but I can go into someone else’s house to clean!!! Does not make sense one it!!!

i.e. working class people. Meanwhile the House of Commons is almost empty.

Actually there was never any legislation stopping nannies from working, infact there's been in increase in temporary nanny jobs advertised with parents looking for childcare whilst the schools are closed

Yes! Why not? They are very cautious at work anyway. Wear a mask. It is important that we restart the economy. Very important.

Of course not.

No

As long as they don't drink that bleach, as suggested by Mr Trump!!
