    I'm happy to sign the petition, but could you explain the advantages or disadvantages of being classed non-creative?

    Does it matter? Its an insult to all crafts people, put down by people who havn't got a creative bone in their bodies. And IMO a precursor for more things to follow. I expect there are commercial interests involved somewhere down the line. That few billion a year earned by craftspeople will be mighty tempting to manufacturers.

    +1 for that. Why can't they regard us as useful? What would happen if a nuclear bomb fell on all the factories? Sorry, couldn't resist the thought
