As many of you will have observed from paying even the scantest attention to the news over the years, there are certain themes that develop when governments enact unpopular measures. There are trends that emerge, arguments that are repeatedly made, until the dust settles and the affected populace ends up trying to make the best of things, as they always do. We’ve seen this story a thousand times.
It always starts when an idea, some sort of business scheme, is proposed. It’ll be obvious from the off that people won’t be too keen – perhaps, as in the drive towards large-scale commercial salmon fishing in the Falkland Islands, the idea will involve upheaval at a community level and environmental damage in return for short-term economic gain.
