As a member of Clan Forbes, it is my sacred duty to promote Scottish independence; as I don't live there, I won't be voting once things have progressed so far. I live in London; as a taxpayer outside of Scotland, it is my sacred duty to promote Scottish independence. Once Scotland is out, taxes in the rest of the United Kingdom can be lowered to bearable levels. Sorry to my Forbes cousins, you'll go broke.
In my last article, I went through a list of commodities that we use at home and never think about too much how we get them. One thing that came out of all four previous articles was that these people have to get to work somehow. Due to people being terribly hidebound, most prefer to lose hours a day for traveling and pay through their noses for the privilege to use public transport or for their otherwise superfluous car.
So far we had the people that keep us from being overrun by the rat kings cohorts, the people who keep us safe from brigands and being burned alive, and the ambulances and hospitals that battle Covid-19 directly apart from all the other stuff that makes us ill. Time to open up the next box and show whom we so easily forget.
One of the quaintest industries in Britain is the fishing industry. It lost all of its viability in 1973 when the government sold it out to the European Union by becoming a member. Since then it had been a long tale of bankruptcy and buyout to foreign nations who were cleverer than the clumsy fools in 10 Downing Street at that time and since then.
It rained on the parade of Boris Johnson's devising. Instead of being able to bask in the sunshine of Covid-19 vaccination, heavy flooding in the United Kingdom combined with Covid-19 to create the perfect storm. If anyone thinks coincidence, then think again. Both things were foreseeable and could have been mitigated with proper management.
