Closed petition Compensate people excluded from Government COVID support schemes

1. Acknowledge the financial hardship faced by taxpayers excluded from government support during COVID

2. Provide fair & equitable redress to those taxpayer who received nothing

More details

We think an estimated 3 million UK taxpayers, comprising a diverse group of freelancers, small business owners, & newly employed individuals, were unfairly excluded from COVID financial support schemes. We believe this exclusion resulted in severe financial hardship, including loss of income, business closures, & personal debt. Despite repeated calls for action, we feel the government has failed in its moral obligation & legal duty to address this social injustice, which we think continues to wreck lives.
