Inflation.
Inflation in the U/K hits 10.1 percent. The highest in 40 years and the highest in G/7 . Well done Boris and his Brigade of Con Merchants, you certainly are following in Thatchers Footsteps.

"Anyone got any suggestions for how to solve a Worldwide issue?"
One to get the ball rolling.
Select a few speculators, bankers, CEOs and random Arabs then show them how it's going to end for them if they don't start playing the game.
Each one in the group gets a vote as to who swings first then on until agreement is reached.
Rule 1: The choice of first to go has to run its course. It'll be a dash for the pens to sign a contract with the world thereafter.

it always ends well for speculators, bankers, CEOs and random Arabs (nice to see you selecting random Arabs; our less cultured forefathers would have said random Jews). No party, least of all the current government, is going to make the rich poorer - see, for instance, the refusal to countenance a windfall tax on oil companies.

//Almost, but not quite, it was the reaction to it that did the damage.//
Indeed duggie. When the pandemic arose I criticised the UK government for abandoning its own well rehearsed plans for dealing with a pandemic and falling in line with the ludicrous reaction that was evident (almost) worldwide. A reaction, incidentally, unlike any other in response to a pandemic in history.
When I said that the so-called "cure" (trying to prevent the spread of an airborne virus and in the process trashing the economy, destroying businesses and prompting widespread long-term problems for the NHS, businesses and individuals) would eventually prove to be worse than the disease, many on here reacted by laughing at my remarks. Well you're not laughing now, are you?

"The effects of lockdown may now be killing more people than are dying of Covid, official statistics suggest.
Figures for excess deaths from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that around 1,000 more people than usual are currently dying each week from conditions other than the virus."
It seems the current "overwhelming" episode of the NHS (it is regularly overwhelmed) has been caused as a result of measures that were taken to er... prevent it being overwhelmed. Oh the irony!

many died because the government was too busy celebrating Brexit to do anything about Covid. Boris first addressed the nation on March 9, when four people had died, but lockdown didn't begin till the 23rd (and a lot of restrictions from the 26th).
That delay was lethal. Countries that acted more quickly lost fewer citizens.

Oh, really? Brexit has nothing to do with it? Staff leaving in droves or being off sick has nothing to do with it? The treatment of the NHS by the UK Government has nothing to do with it?
