Michael McGough now admits that people are going to lose their jobs: Some weak businesses will close post virus, Brexit or no Brexit (Stop the scare stories, Opinion, July 30).<\/p>\n
We all know that more will close in the case of a no-deal Brexit.<\/p>\n
It will not be the fault of the employees of these businesses.<\/p>\n
It may not be the fault of the people running the businesses if they fail due to the change in the economic environment.<\/p>\n
This neo-Darwinian concept, survival of the fittest, takes no account of human suffering.<\/p>\n
Darwin recognised changes which took multi-generations to happen. A company can close overnight but it will take years to establish a new one.<\/p>\n
In the meantime countless people will be out of work, trying to exist - you cant call it living - on universal benefit.<\/p>\n
It will be little consolation to them that the tax, which they no longer have to pay because their incomes are so low, is not going to a body which has fashioned our economy for forty years.<\/p>\n
