Britain’s coronavirus pandemic has led to widespread business closures but also a surge in start-ups as entrepreneurs sought to capitalize on a boom in online shopping, according to data

The figures showed a 37% rise in business closures and a 24% increase in start-ups compared with a year earlier, both the biggest changes since the data series began four years earlier. But accommodation and food services businesses made up an unusually small share of closures, despite being hit hard by lockdowns since March last year. The ONS said that might reflect the government’s emergency support measures for those sectors.

Many people, a tiny little island, and a large military buildup. War on that little tiny island means that many innocent people will die or become displaced. I don't care what your reason is, if you're willing to kill en masse to get it, it isn't worth having.

Socialist making money 🤣🤣🤣
