To everyone who has a Shop /Business which is considered non-essential by the UK government - or knows someone who does.
Business all over Austria, Germany & Switzerland are currently connecting to create a large network to make a stand: come hell or high water they will open for trading again on the 11.01.2021.
It's not only business owners, but they have also lawyered up for support to have as much vigour as possible.
The bigger, the more international this gets the better for small and medium size business, I would assume? If you would like to connect with them, here you have various options
https://coronapedia.de/ Website
Website Forum for discussions, suggestions etc.
(You will have to sign up on the website to post yourself)

I appreciate that the challenge might be that the website and the information is in German only, but for those not firm in the language I would offer myself as initial point of contact / translator where necessary so that a connection can be established. And who knows where that has potential to lead to.
Update 06.01.21:
The group has released the below flyer (in German obviously and I translated it 😜). Maybe people here in this forum could print out a few copies and get it to their local shops to make them aware.
We entered the Age Of Aquarius on 21 December. The awakening of humanity is what the forces of evil most fear. Be strong and gently arouse those that still slumber. United we stand, divided we fall. Future generations depend on us not to fail, in the same way that past generations fought for us.
Thankyou Rosie. I thought it was an appropriate name to go with. We are now at war with the same evil forces that brought about both World Wars 1 and 2 and the Cold War. The Nazi's relied on the complacence of the general population to get away with what they did. Now it's happening all over again. Poem 'Per Ardua' in the inspiration section on this theme.
Came across this on social media today:
— TIME 2RISE (@itstime2rise) January 11, 2021 ✖️TIME ✖️2✖️RISE✖️ on Twitter: "🇮🇹 Italy. 50,000 restauranteurs have decided to open up against Covid19 restrictions, lunch and dinner, banding together to form an alliance. This is the only way to stop this, mass civil disobedience. Long Live the People 💥👊 https://t.co/z9ItL0KHaO" / Twitter
It reminded me of how small businesses in Sicily fought back against the mafia.

We’ve seen attempts to take the government to court, which have generally failed not least due to establishment cronyism and corruption. What if instead, we built a grassroots movement to put an end to the bullying, corrupt behaviour of central government and local authorities based on the Addiopizzo model? If every business in every community came together and said we are not going along with this Lockdown/ 4th industrial reich crap anymore and re-opened then the government plandemic would become unenforcable. Enough is enough, time to take back control. Basta, non ne prendiamo più
