To think people who worked while claiming furlough should pay back the furlough money?

[Floogal]

A few days ago the 'cannon fodder' actually resonated with me. I've been working in retail for past few years as well as doing temp work in Hospital bank.
Like many others I had to work through the pandemic and did not benefit from furlough. I accept that as it was an emergency fund. What I resent is people getting 2 incomes by working. Also (yes I am bitter about it) my hours got cut to make way for furlough workers at the shop. As for the Hospital bank, furloughed workers were taking up the slots. Though, I believe nepotism is a big part with the Hospital. If someone on JSA was caught working cash in hand they would have to pay back everything. Students have to repay the student loans. So I think double dippers have to pay back some, if not all of the money.
Also fact that lots of people can afford to go on holiday or buy dogs raises eyebrows.

Mind your own business and you might not have time to be ‘bitter’ about other people’s circumstances.

But it is our business if we're paying for furlough through our taxes. I think people are entitled to have a view on that

It's not really your business at all. It's the business of the government to decide how to spend taxes. You don't get a say on furlough any more than you get a say on Trident or stupid whacking great yachts. If you don't like it, vote them out when you get a chance.
