Prime Minister has just ordered pubs, cafes, theatres, restaurants and some shops to close from tonight for the foreseeable future. Chancellor just announced that they will pay 80% of the wages for retained employees.
But what about the drummers here that rely on income from gigs? There was no announcement to cover loss of earnings for self employed entertainers that can't earn a penny now because he's closed the bloody venues.
I have savings which I don't want to use too much of, but I think social security would just say I have to live off them. Are any of you that rely on gigs going to try and claim compensation through universal credit?
Normally, they expect people to show proof of regularly looking for work in order to get paid anything. I'm not sure if they would expect that now given that everyone is being told to stay at home.
Also, this petition is worth signing. Probably won't amount to anything, but there's a slim chance.
