    They are rapidly descending to the level of Communist officials for whom too all problems were due to somebody else: false new (Radio Liberty then), CIA, consumerism among the masses, old bourgeois education...You name it.

    Meanwhile high streets and town centres are going to the wall. Ignored for too long by the Government who seem happy to see so many retailers go under while a handful rake in the cash. Not a level playing field
