Word from the BFBi

The Blog of Job

The Government, it giveth and it taketh away….

I initially wrote a rant about the shortcomings of the recent budget, in particular in terms of the 18-month delay in implementation on what, on the face of it, looked like a positive move from Government.

However, it is nearly Christmas; we have had a cr*p year; and we need some positivity. So, have a good Christmas. Enjoy your families. Take time out to get off the treadmill of 2021 and take a breath.

Remember what is important in your life and replenish your batteries to deal with an “optimistic” 2022 (Rishi Sunak says we are now an “economy of optimism” so it must be true).

Remember, your supply chain is ready and willing to help you carry on carrying on.

Just one last comment - did anybody else feel a disconnect between a Government telling us to become more environmentally sustainable whilst lauding the reduction in passenger tax on UK flights (in 2023…)?
