There's none so blind...
Chicken restaurants can’t get chicken, construction sites are falling silent, supermarket shelves are emptying, farmers and food processors can’t find workers, the logistical system is at breaking point. The government’s response is to put its fingers in its ears.
Numerous industries I have spoken to say ministers, departments and even the PM are turning a blind eye to their concerns and warnings. “Nothing to do with us” is pretty rich from the very people who negotiated the pathetically inept Brexit deal, but that is what they are saying; when they bother to respond at all.
The government’s hope that industry will struggle through and cope without them raising a finger to help, when it caused all their problems, is shameless and totally irresponsible. It is also stupid and very, very dangerous.
I cannot understand why the government won’t even pretend to try to help. It is obviously a lazy, inept, stupid, incompetent and even corrupt government but it is not blind.
Economics, trade and Brexit, not necessarily in that order but the dog always comes first.
