Covid-19 is still with us, and as a result, the industry that we all know and love so much is struggling to survive.

Turn your TV off, put down your phone, stop listening to music,

stop watching your favourite films and TV shows and you'll soon realise just how important the industry is to everyone.

Actors, Actresses, Writers, Directors, Producers, Theatre Performers, Singers, Musicians, and every single crew member who is relied upon to the bring the magic of entertainment to life is being told to retrain by our pathetic and blinkered government.

I've tried keeping politics off this website, but when I see friends and colleagues struggling to put food on the table because they have been so undervalued by our politicians it's become hard not to speak out.
