Probably appropriate for Wayne, Tarian and Baghdad Bob to give us the answer as they seem to be the guys in the know. As and when the government stops shelling out all this money for the emergency action over Covid 19 from the magic money tree that will no doubt run into billions, how are they going to claw it back? Taxation, NI contributions, extending OAP age, increase VAT, cut back benefits? Over to our experts please ……...……….

Over the next ten thousand or so years with the Brexit savings perhaps .(ducks and runs for cover)
 
Or get people like Scally to pay back dated tax.
Get all those who had a free university education to pay like modern students do.
I'll get my coat.
 
Borrowing and taxation. Heaven knows we may even hear talk of wealth taxes. Alternatively we will discover that money, debt and accounting were just smoke and mirrors and nothing lies behind.
 
"It is a slow day in the small town of Madeup, and streets are deserted. Times are tough, everybody is in debt, and everybody is living on credit.
A tourist visiting the area drives through town, stops at the motel, and lays a £100 on the desk saying he wants to inspect the rooms upstairs to pick one for the night.
As soon as he walks upstairs, the motel owner grabs the bill and runs next door to pay his debt to the butcher.
The butcher takes the £100 and runs down the street to retire his debt to the pig farmer.
The pig farmer takes the £100 and heads off to pay his bill to his supplier, the Co-op.
The guy at the Co-op takes the £100 and runs to pay his debt to the local prostitute, who has also been facing hard times and has had to offer her "services" on credit.

The hooker rushes to the hotel and pays off her room bill with the hotel.

The hotel proprietor then places the £100 back on the counter so the traveler will not suspect anything.

At that moment the traveler comes down the stairs, states that the rooms are not satisfactory, picks up the £100 bill and leaves.

No one produced anything. No one earned anything.

However, the whole town is now out of debt and now looks to the future with a lot more optimism."

And that, Gang, is how a Stimulus package works.
 
There's a very large sofa been hidden on the Yorkshire Dales. Just need someone with long arms. Nobby?
 
After seizing all their assets , deport anyone who didn't vote for Boris or Brexit.
That'd bring in plenty of wedge 👍

Like our political leaders our self appointed experts have no answers I notice.No doubt learning from our political leaders that the best way to answer a difficult question is to avoid it altogether and give a answer to a completely different question. Or run away and hide.
