'Freelance champion' confirmed in government's £380m creative arts plan

This is quite appalling news for the majority on this site. £380m package of support that also includes 2,000 new film and TV apprenticeships. - On first glance, it's ok; on second glance, there is NOTHING in this legislation to support the majority of us (currently estimated at 75% unemployed), who have been in the industry for a long time, and who tried to create careers out of the same industry. If THEY'RE doing a FREELANCE CHAMPION' - shouldn't it include ALL OF US.

@JulianThomas good point
