Rejected petition Bailout the People!

Make a per capita payment to all UK citizens so that people can pay their rent, people can service their mortgages, and people, whether unemployed or not, can buy food and other critical goods. This can be financed as Quantitative Easing was financed, without recourse to the Treasury, or taxation.

More details

Many people work at precarious jobs, especially in industries which are likely are likely to be hard hit by the Coronavirus: health itself, entertainment, restaurants, tourism, education. People could lose their jobs, and be unable to service their debts or pay their rents, or even buy food.

Many of their employers could also be unable to service their debts. Corporations are now more indebted than they have ever been.

Cash flows will dry up + debt levels crushing + staff laid off.
