Re: Crisis
You never give up do you? In posts you state that you are finished with postings then continue your diatribe.
You should look closely at yourself, because as far as you are concerned it is never you, but everyone else's fault.

Seems, that ministers have ordered a full-scale inquiry into what they regard as the ‘reckless’ leak.
Carried out by the Cabinet Office, it will investigate claims (which, it must be said, are vigorously disputed) that the fuel crisis came about because opponents of Brexit decided to share a partial and somewhat misleading account of events at a supposedly secret meeting between civil servants and industry. ‘The leak has caused tremendous anger in government, including at prime ministerial level,’ says a senior government source. ‘It led to serious disruption which damaged the British economy and endangered public health in a way that was reckless and entirely unjustified, so we need to find who was responsible and ensure something like this never happens again.’
The probe, to be carried out by civil servants, will see every person who attended the aforementioned meeting called to give evidence.
‘They will be formally asked whether they divulged information, who they might have spoken to or contacted, and whether they have any idea how this became public,’ adds the source. ‘It’s a sort of interrogation, in that there will be a couple of people cross-examining them, and their job will be to find out exactly why so many people have suffered this week.’

Re: Crisis
I don't know how to select part of this item. it is on the BBC web site today, but just as a matter of interest, if you don't want to read the whole article, scan down to the very last statement from the industry raising chickens, and i rest my case, kt

Seems, “Be prepared” is the motto for Christmas this year as British shoppers order
favourite foods, trees and lights earlier than ever to ensure they get what they need
for the big day.

Re: Crisis
Lewis 65, that is the very statement i was alluding to in my previous post, this is industry , and leisure industry all missing their endless supply of cheap labour, and this is trying to get us to open our borders again. Money rules the world, and if they cannot get enough fat profit, they will try and bring the government down, the unions employed this at the bottom of the scale, and now major businesses are trying the same ploy, and us poor b******* in the middle cop for it, kt
