Another fire and brimstone yawner from Haque, who opposes any sovereignty smaller than his true aim of a global government.

The supply chain crunch is of course not just limited to computer chips and commodities. The whole supply chain is interlinked, from paper clips to grapes to fish to iron ore, etc.

You can't decouple anything shipped from anything else. Much of the time, different types of goods are all on the same ship. So, Haque is just full of it on this mark.

But more broadly speaking, and irrelevant to what was promised, a general decline in the living standard of the UK was predicted and predictable after divorcing the euro-zone - or at least it was by people who know what they're talking about.

The point was to have this divorce so that the UK could chart its own course, even if there would be some hiccups along the way. No one could have predicted some of those hiccups would be a worldwide pandemic, nor did anyone predict that world governments would react to this pandemic with the lack of grace and foresight that they did.

My prediction is that supply chain problems and covid lockdown syndrome aside, the UK will be far better off in 3, 5, 10 and 50 years for having left the sinking euro ship. No currency regime has survived long without a fiscal union holding it together. The disaster awaiting the rest of europe will make a few empty shelves seem like a breath of fresh air in comparison.

Where will Haque be then? Probably still in his 1%er London flat.
