Excuses

There is a major problem in the world which is to blame everything on a current issue when things go wrong. Obviously, the current scapegoat is Brexit which seems to be cited as the cause of problems which have not happened yet. Casting my mind back today I thought of these previous issues which have faded into the past. (In no particular order)

• Decimalisation (blamed for price rises)
• Margaret Thatcher (blamed for all that is bad in the UK)
• The BSE crisis
• The Y2K bug
• HIV
• Brexit

I wonder how long Brexit will be retained as an excuse for people not pulling their fingers out!
