No emmie they have decided to take the risk end of.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I understood that someone leaked this £500 idea before Boris had even seen it. It was contained in a 'suggestions' paper or something. Because it got out and all over the news, the refutation now casts the govt. in a 'spoilsport' light.

So who leaked it is the question? We obviously can't afford it and I am glad the idea has been quashed. I know a lad in the village ( Yr. 11 at school) who told me that one pupil was taking 50p off a lot of other kids in payment for coughing a lot! (It was at the beginning last year and he'd been to Italy on a skiing trip.) I can very easily imagine people fabricating Covid symptoms to gain £500.
