Corbie

Since Corbie the Crow did not want or was not able to land a killer punch over Brexit, yesterday's Guardian offers something which may be more in his old-fashioned line.

It seems that there is a crisis in the supply of carbon dioxide in northern Europe, with interruptions in the supply of carbonated drinks and frozen chickens looming. Part of the problem being that three of the big plants in this country have been shut down for summer maintenance. For which we should perhaps read summer holidays.

Given that the private sector is so obviously not competent to maintain supplies of this key ingredient of the national supply chain, very much part of what the Tories and their securocrat friends like to call the critical national infrastructure, there is obviously a strong case for nationalisation before it is too late.

Corbie should push for an emergency debate. It is the least that he can do.

PS: maybe also he should fix up a fact finding mission to India to talk to the people at reference 1. Maybe Bullingdon Boris would like to go along for the ride - or maybe not, as big people are not at their best when temperatures are in the 40's.
