may be a conspiracy theory, but as the uk gov is injecting only 30 bil in the economy while germany is injecting 600 billion shows the uk is financially in a weak position. if the country stops working the economy is bust. the uk _needs_ to be ahead of europe to stay afloat, so that these measures as a state of war, in which economic sovereignty can be lost unless some people die on the battle front.

The Bank of England has suggested lending £190B to businesses in need. The roughly equivalent numbers appear to be 12B and 600B (Euros) for Germany. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/mar/11/budget-2020-rishi-sunak-spending-coronavirus https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/mar/11/budget-2020-... https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/news/2020/march/boe-measures-to-respond-to-the-economic-shock-from-covid-19 https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/news/2020/march/boe-measures... https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/coronavirus-germany-economic-measures-covid-19-crisis-12517624 https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/world/coronavirus-germa... https://www.pionline.com/markets/germany-lines-600-billion-virus-aid-eu-backs-stimulus https://www.pionline.com/markets/germany-lines-600-billion-v...
- brrrrr1 7y agothanks for the clarification, still a pretty small number considering. all i am saying is these numbers might explain the logic behind going against all scientific advice.
