    What a horrendous woman.

      And there's the simple question, why not hire a second person? Because you'd have to pay them instead of just hoping people will do unpaid overtime?
      Add to that, excessive hours cause huge losses in productivity.

If my normal suppliers are specifically stating they are sending orders to every other country in the EU, but are no longer trading with the UK, because of Brexit, and that it is absolutely in line what what you knew and feared would happen a a result of Brexit, then it's most likely Brexit isn't it. if Brexit had taken a holiday, I wouldn't have said Covid was obscuring Brexit issues would I.

      Except the people who bought it, wanted to buy it. And if they won't admit they were wrong, they'll drag us all down into the abyss with them again. And again, and again.
      This is who Britain is; the remnants of an Empire built on white supremacy. That's the only way Brexit makes any sense, unless you think a nation spontaneously decided to strangle itself. And until that fundamental, ludicrous, and dangerous bigotry is dealt with, it will continue to fester and attack the body politic.
      Yes, the people who sold it were well-funded liars with ulterior motives. Yes, the people who bought it were lied to and manipulated. But they wanted to be. They had every opportunity, including that provided by a basic grasp of reality, to realize that it's impossible to simply wish your garden full of unicorns, but they got on-board with those obvious lies anyway, because it gave them a chance to feel superior without having to do any work. There's nothing admirable in that; quite the opposite. And while the people at the top should get far more of the blame, there's more than enough to go around, and will be, apparently, for the foreseeable future. This isn't going to get better.
      That's where James is both tremendously wrong, and, honestly, being quite self-serving and naive in exactly the way MLK described "white moderates" as being; this is exactly who these people are, and always were. Nobody waved a wand and made all these people bigots overnight. British (and Western) culture has rot at its core, and unless it is excised, it will be fatal. For everybody.
