Extend the “Eat out to help out scheme” at least until Christmas

What the petition asks
The eat out to help out scheme is a fantastic way to kickstart the economy. However, one month is an extremely short time and it is highly unlikely that once the scheme runs out on 31 St August then people will stop coming out of their houses.
I strongly believe that with the furlough coming to an end in October , the government should extend the eat out to help out scheme at least until Christmas to ensure that there is no slump is consumer spending after August.
This scheme could help to avoid a deep recession and save jobs.
