It has been an interesting 5 days in the UK.

Monday was one of national mourning when a Bank Holiday was proclaimed to mark the funeral of Queen Elizabeth. It was an historic occasion (the history can and is being debated) and many millions watched primarily on the BBC. A minority of more millions didnt watch but there was rather less interest in that.

At the end of the week Kwasi Kwarteng the self styled Chancellor made a fiscal statement. 5 days had gone by and we were no longer all in it together. Rather the ultra haves got a significant tax cut while the have nots got crumbs.

This is the beginning not the end of a story..
