At the GI.

A bit odd to post there on a Sunday evening but a bloke called Tony Makara over at Conservative Home seems to have some very odd ideas indeed.

Very odd, almost Bennite early 1970s vintage.

    I do wish that those who attack trade liberalisation showed at least some sign, however slight, that they actually understand Ricardo’s principle of comparative advantage - even if they go on to rubbish it citing specific reasons.

    I thought he was saying that he wanted manufacturing jobs back in blighty - but I will admit I can be well wrong on that one.

    He goes on about this topic a lot. I have tried to explain one or two things but without any success.

    I’m pretty sure that Makara cove has form in this area. Name certainly rings a bell.

    That people are, in all seriousness, advocating autarky in the 21st Century, and from a nominally conservative standpoint, is worrying to say the least.
