The Government’s dedicated efforts to destroy our economy and an entire way of life have moved up a step. High
streets had just begun to stir feebly back into life after months of
enforced shutdown. Then the futile decree went out from Downing Street that customers must wear muzzles.
And
what will happen? Why, more people will choose not to bother to go near
shops at all. They will buy from the internet giants instead.......
Now Mr Johnson is destroying high streets
too. This means the wreckage of lives and the impoverishment of life at
the same time. As new figures clearly showed yesterday, his actions have
already greatly boosted mail-order shopping at the expense of real
shops.
If you think this does not
matter, then do two things: find out about the working lives of those
who toil in the vast computerised warehouses that so efficiently send
you the goods you order with a click of your mouse; and imagine your own
home town with most of its familiar traders closed down. Imagine what,
if anything, will replace them, and the personal service and contact
they provide.
