It is pretty amazing watching them (the PM, other government people) this last couple of weeks as they've all stopped saying that there are no issues, or that its covid, or that its the same everywhere. Instead they've been saying that they totally knew these things would happen, the project fear things, but shortages are either all the fault of businesses who should have prepared (even though for years they've been told it was all just project fear) or else the shortages are actually good, are the growing pains of a brilliant new era, and were part of the plan all along. Completely shameless.
