Proper help for the self employed during the covid 19 crisis

Petition Details

Give the same help to the self employed as the permanent employee's announced today 80 % of the wages up to limit of 2500 per month

Additional Information

Because we are all suppose to be together in this crisis and helping benefit parties and permanent employees and leaving out millions of the self employed is wrong and discriminatory as we contribute to the state and success of the uk.
