Meanwhile, the UK Foreign Office says:
"Family and friends may be able to transfer funds to you or buy you a ticket home. In what the Foreign Office calls “very exceptional circumstances”, the government may provide an emergency loan to help you return home.
“This is discretionary and will only be considered if you have exhausted all other methods of getting funds,” says the Foreign Office.
You must pay it back in six months and will be expected to surrender your passport until the debt is cleared."

Pandemic Emergency Purchase Programme
The European Central Bank (ECB) has launched an emergency €750bn ($820bn; £700bn) package to ease the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
It will buy government and company debt across the eurozone, including that of troubled Greece and Italy.
ECB boss Christine Lagarde tweeted "there are no limits" to its commitment to the euro.
The UK take 9 whole days to set up a 4000-bed field hospital, and all Notchradamus can say is "what took so long?"
The ECB take a month to put out a statement, and he's beside himself with glee.
where did I say "what took so long"
and who said it was 9 days? -thats just Tory propaganda bulls hit. Convenient how it was the same length of time as the China one.
and it isnt a field hospital -it was a building already there
What has the WTO done

Bodd
I watched crews of blokes fitting out an exhibition centre - floor guys, partition guys, ceiling guys and the rate of work and the amount of stuff fitted and fixed is astonishing.
no I didn't, you could not be more wrongYou tell me: you voted for it
I didn't vote for Johnsons surrender act
nor did I vote for Tories pandering to brextremists with all this childish chest thumping anti EU bollards
during the 2016 referendum, the leave campaign was about 'a deal' -most cases it included staying in the SM and CU.
