Oct 4: Quotidian thought of the day

In my opinion, the panic and hysteria in UK partly reflects a growing lack of confidence by the public in the government’s ability to manage the economy and fix problems when they arise.

The fuel crisis echoes the rush to stockpile toilet paper during the first wave of the pandemic. It is unnerving that panic buying could become a feature of the UK economy – which remains one of the richest and, at least until recently, well managed in the world.
