This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Allow funding for people in the entertainment industry.
Fund artists and entertainers in the uk who are missing out on performing in-front of crowds who don’t work in hospitality or customer service so are not receiving any income such as furlough like most UK citizens.
More details
An unfair balance and biased opinion that performers such as dancers, singers, bands etc. who receive money from the public attending shows are now receiving nothing whereas the most of the uk population are receiving furlough. As good as 80% of wages being payed for people who are employed, there’s nothing been given to people who perform and earned money from making people happy and enjoy their time when spectating.
