Unless it's an April Fool posting, this would be breaching data protection surely. Secondly, what a can of worms they'd be opening.

DFE publishes an annual report of how much certain companies received under particular schemes for business development. But this is different. This information should be economically protected.

TheTeapot Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 It's probably pretty unwise to release that stuff. But... I'm genuinely interested. Obviously the ones that took the piss the most will be the ones most able to object and get pulled from the list, when it's those ones I'd like to hear about. They made it illegal for me to go to work and offered me £200 a week. They did this to loads of people, and attempted pretty hard not to pay that (or any of the schemes for individuals like the 3k self employed grant) yet many businesses did very well. Regular readers of private eye will be aware of the staggering abuse of the system in the UK by now, it will have happened here too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read in to the DFE one that the £3k claimants will be published too as it falls under COVID support schemes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weasled out of that for quite a few people by saying things such as "oh you're self employed and have been for ages, so that's great and all. we can see that, but because you had a job for a few months a year and a half ago you don't qualify" or similar completely ridiculous things.

A mate of mine has a plumbing firm that told me about the emails he got. He had no choice but to use them or his business would fail. He seems it as shameful and never wishes he had to do it, but he did. He doesn't want other plumbers firms seeing what he got. I kinda get that. A friend of mine a self-employed taxi driver got several of the lump grants from DFE and has had an email saying his name and payment amounts are also due to be published. It's a bit excessive. But I kinda get we'd all love to know how much the big players got or someone like Knox got. Edited April 1, 2022 by NoTailT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTailT Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) Just seen on twitter this whole debacle came about because of a Josem / MTPA FOI. 🤦♂️ see there's people on twitter disagreeing with it too, also saw business owners disgruntled about it on face ache.
