[Mr.X]

I really think people need to wind their neck in about the furloughing scheme (in general, not necessarily on Buzzjack). The scheme is there is to help businesses during this time - FACT: a lot of businesses have multi-millionaire owners, however only a select few high-profile business people are getting criticised for accessing the scheme (e.g. Wetherspoons, Victoria Beckham.) If the government didn't want businesses with rich owners to access the scheme, they would have put a cap on it. Look around you at how many stores and businesses on the high street are closed - do you really think they're all little family run businesses??

I think it is very unfair at this time to criticise and target business owners for accessing a scheme that has been made available to them. I thought we were all preaching "be kind" a couple of months ago?

No darling, rich people were saying 'be kind' to the rest of us.

Again, no1 is complaining about businesses accessing the scheme. They should as that is there for. What people are rightly saying is that those businesses that can stay afloat should take the brunt first.

Victoria is in a difficult position: she is well known to try avoid paying her taxes back in the day, is well known for being a multi-millionair with millions in investment from very rich people. She is no little business run by a local family in Coventry. She runs a multi-million business and is a multi-millionaire worth around £300million. She can afford to pay her staff wages for a few months.

Of course she will get press about it - she is a public persona, a celebrity. Wetherspoons is also getting a lot of shit thrown at them because of the way they've handled this - and rightly so!

I am not so sure what is so hard to understand here.
