Everyone singing the lyrics to ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ in December 2020:

“Ahh this is so true it’s almost emotional!” 🥲

In December 2021:

“Is this some sort of sick joke?”

@BBCAcademy @HazelBakerNews @MwaiPetrov @BBCJonSopel Loving it so far! Will these videos be available to watch after the event is over?

Delighted that after faithfully training for this moment through drama A level, a degree, and masters, I finally got to play a tree professionally before all this madness kicked off. #dreamachieved #hardtreeworkpaidoff

I’ve been saying this would happen. The idiots bought more fresh produce than they could eat or store and now it’s wasted.
Hoarding dry pasta & canned goods is antisocial but hoarding perishables is INSANE.

@kaptnjay My original comment is highly sarcastic.. 😉

[Felicity Turner @FizzMezzo]

Thank god - now there’s hashtag maybe people will take notice.. #COVIDIOT

[Natalie Silvey - silv24.bsky.social @silv24]

This is the face of someone who just spent 9 hours in personal protective equipment moving critically ill Covid19 patients around London.

I feel broken - and we are only at the start. I am begging people, please please do social distancing and self isolation #covid19

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

Advice is not working. We need enforced lockdowns, as in Italy and France, to reduce the spread of coronavirus. Inaction is costing lives.

[Felicity Turner @FizzMezzo]

Having a hard time getting loved ones* to really believe that our choice to not see them is indeed out of care for them. (They say they understand but the eyes say differently). People still not waking up to what is happening. *(My Mum actually gets it, ironically.) #MothersDay

[Alex Wickham @alexwickham]

BREAKING: Boris Johnson says the NHS will be "overwhelmed" and Britain will become like Italy unless people immediately follow social distancing orders

His starkest warning to the nation yet about what is coming

PM says people must not visit their mothers on mother's day

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

Britain will be immeasurably poorer without the musicians, artists, comedians and other creatives who will struggle to perform in the coming months. We have to stand up for them now, along with all self-employed people. Our culture depends on it.

[Kate Allen @katecallen]

Not sure we've communicated well enough that social distancing interventions will pay dividends in 1-3 weeks. Anything that happens in the next 10 days was already baked in prior to that. A surge in cases now would NOT mean that social distancing isn't working.

[Felicity Turner @FizzMezzo]

Half AS* galling. Must proofread rants in future. Doesn’t bode well for future WFH proofreading Covid side-hustle.

[Felicity Turner @FizzMezzo]

This. This. This. So many times This. It wouldn’t be half an galling (it would be) to be forgotten in the earnings bailout if the entire population weren’t currently turning to artists for their sanity. #selfemployed

[Jane Slavin @JaneSlavin]

Literally everything you’re watching on telly at the moment is made by the self employed. If you think we’re just frivolous artists who need only £4K a year, try switching off the TV for 3 days and then get back to me. Also the books you’re reading and the games you’re playing.

[Felicity Turner @FizzMezzo]

@Flissish @am_blythe Indeed! But we must remember that our savings are for clothes. Not tax, or pensions, or future business costs. Silly freelancers.

[Felicity Turner @FizzMezzo]

Please keep putting pressure on government to act on our behalf. Self-employed or not, it doesn’t take much to see that £2500 vs £370 is not quite fair.. We pay our tax and pump money into the economy through our work like everyone else, why are we being forgotten? #selfemployed

[Felicity Turner @FizzMezzo]

@RishiSunak If only there were some way of documenting what we had earned every year. And if only we paid some sort of money back into society for times like these. Maybe they would have helped us out now & we could have used that document to work out how much by! Never mind 🤷‍♀️ #selfemployed

@iD_Mobile_UK Hi, when can we expect to have calls and data back? Have been totally offline since at least 11 last night.. Really affecting work now! Thanks!

[Genesis Sixteen @GenesisSixteen]
