Also who stockpiles and pays for it? Suppliers of? Manufacturers? Government? NHS?
That’s nonsense, PPE and other products have been supplied for decades in sensible quantities, now the entire world wants it. I do lay blame to globalisation for the decimation of our manufacturing and consumerism demanding cheaper products, however is that all about viability of costs or just greed by the brands to drive larger profits? For me Trump had it right, bring your factories back home or pay a high tax on imported products, he just goes about it in the wrong way, but he accomplished it, within days companies realised he was serious and they started to look at doing exactly that . . . We should be buying British goods and hopefully that’s a positive that comes out of this terrible saga in our lifetime . . . rant over 🤪😎
