Reading today that Steve Coogan (Alan Partridge) has furloughed the gardener and housekeeper at his £4 million pound mansion complete with swimming pool and tennis court. Nice for some, eh? What an out and out greedy shit this guy is, imo. He's supposed to be worth over £10 million and here he is unashamedly sponging off taxpayers who can only dream of his wealth.
It's not illegal but the Government furlough scheme was set up as a safety net to try and keep people in jobs NOT to protect the wealth of multi-millionaires by paying their staff for them. Coogan could pay his staff in full without even denting his fortune, instead he chose to make the taxpayers do it. Coogan played a billionaire fashion mogul in the film Greed 2019: how ironic is that?
Then I read of Jon Hunt who owns the Wilderness Reserve in Suffolk, a country club where rooms are charged up to £3,572 a NIGHT!! This fucker, a BILLIONAIRE (that's a thousand million), has furloughed 25 staff, again at taxpayers' expense. His greed is sickening and obscene but I doubt he'll give a shit so long as he's allowed to shaft the system.
Of course, we all know that Victoria Beckham tried it on as well until public opinion forced her to backtrack. There are far too many of these wealthy parasites bleeding the system dry and it's high time the government put a stop to it. And I hope that the public have very long memories and treat these blood-suckers with the contempt they deserve in the future.
