(dated 30 April, 11 June and 10
July) and one Indy 100 article
dated 24 June 2020 have been amended following complaints from J D Wetherspoon:
All four articles were amended to recognise that at no point did Mr Martin tell employees that Wetherspoon would not continue to pay them.
The publications accepted the fact that all staff were paid by the company up until the point pubs closed, following which all staff received furlough pay. In addition, all four articles were
amended to clarify that Mr Martin did not direct staff that they “should work at Tesco instead”.
The publications acknowledged that their reporting on this point was inaccurate and that Mr Martin had, in fact, expressed that he ‘understood’ if employees were offered a job in a supermarket and wished to take it up.
In addition to the above inaccuracies,
the Indy 100 article dated 24 June 2020 also incorrectly reported Mr Martin as saying, after the government ordered lockdown, that “our aim is for pubs to open for the duration of lockdown”.
The Indy 100 published a correction and an apology to make it clear that Mr Martin’s comments in relation to pubs remaining open were made on 20 March 2020 - before the Government mandated lockdown.
When the government ordered the closure of pubs later that day,
J D Wetherspoon immediately complied with the direction and closed its pubs (edited)
being cooked for you
Who cares, I care about buying £3 beers instead of £6 beers, which is why I'll still go to spoons.
Probably a Lefty Guardian reader etc..
Afaik he suggested they look for other work while they waited for the furlough money to come in. To continue paying thousands of staff would have crippled the business. I think there was a lot of fake info about that situation tbh
To be fair I think this is the most important answer.
Everyone was up in arms about about Weatherspoons but paying five pound a pint for a half decent brand of larger is to much for most (including me) and as much as people on Twitter etc say boycott them people forget and wallets are stretched and as long as you accept cheap beer and the food isn’t going to be Michelin Star then it is what it is.
All Wetherspoon staff got paid on time and as normal. Nothing to do with delayed furlough payments.
I'm a "lefty" (don't read any newspapers!) but I fully support WS as one of the UKs largest employers. And the staff in my local outlet are happy enough in their jobs and that's what matters! Too much misinformation about Sir Tim Martin all because of his stance on Brexit. Yet he campaigns for his industry, against the UK government, all the time!
How was that?
They all got paid and had jobs to go back to. Why would that put you off.
I dont really see the added value!
Well it’s not my gas doing it whatever it is so that’s an added bonus
The cost of the gas to cook that will be about £50 these days too, so I say its a bargain.
Yep, you're entitled to be a lefty, at least you can see past the Brexit issue etc.
If you can tell me where can I find such perfect fish in Iceland please tell me which one is it. I'd love to buy it and eat every day for the rest of my life.

He furloughed his staff, just like pretty much every company. People are up in arms because he said they'd be better off stacking shelves. But that was quite correct. 100% of minimum wage with plenty of overtime for working in a supermarket v 80% furlough wage that can't be improved on. It's a no brainer, really!
Completely right. He made a silly comment about letting staff go but, in reality, he furloughed his staff same as every other employer who had their business suspended. (edited)
I'm very much a socialist and my background is in the trade union movement. A lot of people would love to see WS go under because of one guy at the top but that would take away the livelihoods of a lot of good workers. It's all to with him wanting to leave the EU. That's all a lot of people know him for!
Yeah, all four quietly amended, after the damage had been done...
*Reheated
Page doesn't open and I'd prefer to use my own experience, anyway, given that I work in benefits and I'd processed loads of claims from JDW staff who were receiving furlough pay!
You've obviously got a good deal, must still be on a set Tariff. Wait until you go on flexi-tariff.
Evidently not as far left as some
The 4th one is a chickenless chicken dish
Although he'd didn't:
