Stay Alert: Government Negligence, 2020

Embroidery thread and felt, 24.5cm x 25cm

On May 11th 2020 the UK government told us to “stay alert” to this virus, while slowly easing lockdown over the next couple weeks despite daily death toll being 300+ people, by far the highest in europe. When a chief political advisor to the prime minister is seen doing multiple roadtrips across the country with someone displaying symptoms, lies about it repeatedly and is then protected by the government and police, it is clear there is one rule for the ruling class and another for everyone else. Our government think theyre better than everyone in the country and theyre happy to flaunt it to our faces. Enough is enough.
