BREXIT

So fruit rotting in the fields, lack of butchers to prepare pigs and chickens, empty shelves in supermarkets due to lack of drivers. Brexit is here! And Northern Ireland is simmering ready for an explosion. The power to make our own decisions might be a good idea if we had anyone clever enough to make them! Temporary migrant workers have been made to feel unwelcome. And the good English people in Lincolnshire (which voted for Brexit) would rather be on universal credit than work in fields. The lorry driver shortage has been growing since before Covid, but nobody seemed to care – certainly not there Ministry of Transport.

And now we have the Trade Minister Lord Grimstone (an architect of the privatisation of 22 state owned companies in the 1970’s) stating that overseas invested companies out performed UK companies with more jobs and more exports. This was in justification to the sale of a major defence manufacturer, and `Morrisons, with ARM having already been sold to a Japanese Bank, and now about to become part of an American Corporation where its intellectual property will no doubt be abducted. Perhaps the government should do more to encourage home grown firms, and provide proper management training rather than rely on Eton, etc. and mens clubs in London and the golf course!
