A company called Farepak, which provides Christmas hampers, has gone bust. It's terrible news for people who have lost money as a result, which they can ill afford to lose. But it's crazy that a man called Ian McCartney, who you may not know is our consumer affairs minister, calls it a national emergency.
A generation who lived through 1940, when Britain faced invasion and round the clock bombing, will think Mr McCartney has led a very sheltered life if he thinks this is a national emergency.
