How strange..
The latest anti-union and anti-strike move by the government is to quote the hospitality industry which says the rail strikes alone have cost it £2billion in lost revenue. Then they demand action, like banning all strikes.
Which is strange because last year the hospitality industry said that Brexit was costing it £22 billion a year, every year and as a result HM Treasury were losing £7billion in taxation a year. At the time I heard not a squeak from the government or any of its camp followers on this shocking statistic and I haven’t since.
Go on strike for a few weeks and apparently you are bankrupting the country, do 11 times more damage permanently and you are a patriot.
How strange!
Still that might explain the commentators on the right wing of the media, who say the UK is poor, getting even poorer and they can’t think why. Unless it is too much wokeness or political correctness or union power.
Maybe they should ask the hospitality industry, now they trust its maths.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
