Key workers

Appears that schools are telling people that both parents have to be a key worker in order for their kids to be looked after

So we’ll have key workers who are needed, having to look after their kids instead because they can’t afford to go without the other half’s bigger wage which a lot of them are already saying

Hope this isn’t the policy!
