Isnt it because: If you only earn 10K a year taking 25% doesn’t leave you much to live on. Whereas of you earn 150K a year you can take 25%, and still have 4 holidays abroad a year right? I wouldn’t think that’s fair tbh.
Awesome day working at BBC Broadcasting house with brilliant cast & team on my new joint! 💥💥💥 It’s a maaaaad epic one! Show is coming soon to

The damaging effects of slavery are still felt today. And the wealth generated remains concentrated in the hands of the great-great grandkids of the slaveowning nation.
Apologising for a genocide it continues to benefit from today, is the very least a family could do.
If you think of me this morning, prayers & thoughts appreciated - got interview for a theatre writing thing this morning. V. nervous! Thanks fam x 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
