Yeah matey - you and "millions" of others
However, Boris (in your case) has made an offer of 80% of 'something' so that might be the start of 'something else'

While sporting images are still wanted, it is only the public that are not welcome at games - so I presume that you -as an accredited photographer- will still be able to gain entry to events

=or= at worst, it will be a time for reviewing your work flow,
=or= pulling out heaps of 'keepers' and creating some of those print-on-demand coffee table books showing the best footballers in the club

Unfortunately Phil the 80% only counts for employed people not self employed!
There is no sport anywhere, not even grass roots! All weddings etc are a maximum of 5 so no snappers needed there, also, all pubs, clubs, restaurants & theaters closed so no social snapping.
Basically all avenues now shut .

wottabugga - maybe the self-employed will be brought into the scheme once people start shouting louder. Certainly the Aussie scheme includes self employed (tho details have not yet been published as to 'how to' ~ and they are talking about a basic amound of about 200GBP per week as a starter
