People in the main accept that the press and the opposition parties are there to hold the government to account. What people object to is people criticising for the sake of it. I really don't think you would be making all these negative comments if it was Labour that was taking these measures. More objectivity would be nice.

Wrong as usual. I would be making the same points if Labour made the same mistakes.

Denmark Blocks Firms Registered in Tax-Havens From State Aid
Quote:
Denmark has become one of the first countries to ban companies that are registered in tax havens from accessing financial aid during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Nordic country, which has spent billions on aid for companies experiencing drastic drops in revenues due to a wide-ranging government lockdown, announced an extended aid package worth 100 billion Danish crowns ($14 billion) on Saturday.
But in an amendment to the aid measures, which now total close to 400 billion crowns, companies registered in tax haven countries will no longer be eligible for aid.
Additionally, firms applying for an extension of Danish state aid must now promise not to pay dividends or make share buy-backs in 2020 and 2021, it said.
