One
of the by-products of the Russia conflict in Ukraine is the ‘tit-for-tat’ ban
on economic relations between the UK and Russia. Effectively, Russia banned
food imports from a number of Western European countries (including the UK) in
response to a ban on these countries buying Russian products.
But
this could all be a good thing.
As
we have seen on far too many occasions over recent decades, politicians rarely
put human life ahead of money. However, as soon as the issue hits a country’s
back pocket, then it is amazing how quickly action is taken.
As
the Russia conflict in Ukraine has shown, people dying in conflict or through a
plane being blown up has caused little political comment. Let’s see how the
attitude changes now that the back pocket of the UK could be impacted.
Very
predictable and very sad.
