THROUGHOUT the United Kingdom high street retail is dying. Whether its demise is being hastened via an ‘end of life’ pathway orchestrated and administered by government decision-makers is the burning question. The latest nail in the high street coffin is the the Body Shop going into administration, following the 2023 collapse of Wilko. The acceleration began when […]
INCIDENTS of blatant anti-Semitism appear to be gathering pace across the world. Within the UK alone, a report by the Community Security Trust reveals a staggering 589 per cent increase in incidents last year compared with 2022.
