Even higher prices as the whole economies of scale advantage is lost, efficiency goes down, resources are wasted.

Are you familiar with the broken glass theory? A little bit harm can do a lot of good basicly. Libertarians are disgusted by the premise but we could see it in action in the UK.

Classical neolib argument. Never mind the decrease in living standards. It's all for your own good, says he who lives a world away. The political writer I admire most is George Orwell. Orwell sought to understand the people he was writing about by going there and living amongst them. You're the polar opposite of Orwell.

Have never read anything of him so I can say nothing about it, but the English seem to have a broken window that needs fixing. You don't have to be so hostile, my mom and father have/had no education at all, my mom grew up in a lower-class neighbourhood in Haarlem and my father always kept his beard to hide the stabbing wounds. Do you think I am aristocracy or something. My face is covered with scars, I got scars from stabbing wounds everywere and got actually shot. Does Orwell?

Frag, Marmite is one of those quintessential British things that also happens to be cheap and good affordable food for those who enjoyed it. Granted, it's not a staple food, but a lot of people enjoy it, and a shortage of Marmite and a significant price increase (10% at the minimum is not small) is something that would affect a considerable number of people.

Case in point - it did. And look what happened. A public price war between Tesco, the largest retailer, and Unilever, one of the largest producers of food products.
