Also to follow this on, here’s a pic which explains why so many people are mad. They’re telling those in certain careers to get new jobs but to make the ad they would’ve needed those certain people!
The UK Gov recently released a bunch of ads encouraging people to retrain and find new jobs as the pandemic has left a lot of workers unemployed. The ballet ad shown in the first picture picked up the most attention and backlash as the government has been getting heat for essentially shitting all over people who work in the arts (music, dance, theatre etc.) through a lack of funding during the pandemic. So essentially it’s a massive slap in the face, as instead of funding them they’re telling them to find a new job.
