Letters / Underwhelmed!

Deeply underwhelmed to have received an automatic notification from the DTI [Department of Trade and Industry] via GOV.UK on Friday afternoon entitled “Vital Industries to benefit from post-Brexit Britain”…

It turned out to be a single trumpeting (sic) report about a visit by Liz Truss MP to the ceramics industry in Stoke on Trent: International Trade Secretary sets out how vital British industries will benefit from free trade after Brexit

For those not familiar with this part of the world; most of the TOILETS made in Britain come from Stoke.

…No other industries notified by the DTI regard this article (aren’t there any other vital industries?).

I guess it’s good to know that sale and supply of bathroom sanitary ware is such a high priority for bodging Boris and his merry men…

The government is clearly making sure that we all have somewhere to stick our heads when the economy goes belly-up after they have secured a series of very bad deals with the EU and America!!
