Re: So they know it’s damaging...
Seeing as I will almost certainly catch it at some point anyway, I'd rather risk it than be out of work in an economy rapidly being brought to its knees.
Besides, as a contractor it takes lot for me not to turn up to work. I don't benefit from cushy benefits like them perm folks.
Obviously the government is all about the "Fairness" though, so I look forward to those benefits kicking in real soon....
