It’s difficult to imagine that anyone in big business or government has any real concern about supply chain security, when the Conservative-friendly Daily Telegraph carries a story about the CEO of the UK’s Marks & Spencer retail chain now being on a 4-day week for a salary of £750K. Meanwhile, the real people at the … Continue reading The UK will go hungry as the food supply collapses. But Boris and all the political buffoons seat blocking our Parliament will continue to have their day…

Full UK Self Sufficiency must now be the aim
Of all the myths created by those with an interest in building and maintaining an alternative narrative, the one that our changing world now requires us to completely rethink is our dependency upon any essential products or foods from anywhere abroad. The UK possess the basic resources and environment necessary to support and provide for … Continue reading Full UK Self Sufficiency must now be the aim
Dependency on Foreign supplies compromises UK security
Perhaps the biggest cost of globalisation that has never been factored into the equation (or more likely it has deliberately been left out), has been the issue of what happens when a Country becomes dependent upon supplies of goods or services that come from another Country, or Countries that may not always have interests that … Continue reading Dependency on Foreign supplies compromises UK security
De-Globalisation: The End of Globalisation is already underway
Globalisation and the model of global business and supply chains that existed at the end of 2019 – before the Covid Pandemic hit us, no longer exists as it did then, in either functional or operational terms. In the same way that our system of government and the political system that supposedly drives it has … Continue reading De-Globalisation: The End of Globalisation is already underway
The only real beneficiary of Globalisation is self-interest and greed
Globalisation was seen to work because we have all been fed the story that it benefits our self-interest in some way. Yet the only beneficiaries from the process of Globalisation were and always have been the people and corporate interests that have created, developed and directly profited from an unethical system that exploited everyone and … Continue reading The only real beneficiary of Globalisation is self-interest and greed
The true cost of Globalisation
The true driver of Globalisation was always the increase in profits for every company that played or that plays a role in the supply chains that are involved.

Protectionism – Putting UK Jobs, Goods & Services FIRST
Sold as beneficial, because it makes everything we want ‘cheap’ to buy, ‘globalisation’ and the ‘global economy’ have always been a myth that only appeared to work out well for us because that was what we were being told by the people and companies that benefitted from us all believing so. As the impact of … Continue reading Protectionism – Putting UK Jobs, Goods & Services FIRST
Basic Clothing & Footwear
Perhaps one of the most challenging areas covering basic needs provision will be that of the supply of affordable shoes and clothing. If there is one area of industry that has been outsourced to other Countries more than any other, it will surely be the production of clothes and shoes. Whilst many today look scornfully … Continue reading Basic Clothing & Footwear
Basic Foods
We do not need the wide range, nor the wide variety of foods that are available to us today, in order to survive. In fact, the majority, if not all of the food that any of us require, to have a very healthy and nutritious diet, can be produced, provided or is already available to … Continue reading Basic Foods
Rationing: A way of sharing the basics fairly, so there is enough for all
The days of unnecessary food production and manufacturing, prioritised only on the basis of repeat financial turnover and profit-making are done – even if that doesn’t appear to be the case right now. As we experienced being the case in the early days and weeks after the first Covid Lockdown was called in March 2020, … Continue reading Rationing: A way of sharing the basics fairly, so there is enough for all
