Presumably, Robbins will soon be ennobled as Lord Robbins of Scapegoat.
Teach them to fish? Perhaps they are all at sea.
This looks very good to me. The principles look right, the proposals seem well thought through, including the tricky multi-decade phase-in.

In Turkey, an elderly man who earns his living by shining shoes is visited every morning at the same time by a cat that asks to have its fur brushed. The man never turns down this little friend.😍👍💙
