There is also a cafe owner and a fashion blogger amongst those. Those aren't freaks in the terms of the jobs they do. (Though people in fashion are odd anyway.)

It's a bit more interesting that photographing physiotherapists, solicitors, barristers, landlords, accountants, IT folk, journalists, gardeners, cleaners, graphic designers, engineers, etc.

I think the idea is to get it into the heads of union people and Labour MPs that freelancers are in all sorts of jobs. As Nu Labour couldn't quite grasp that when they were in power.
