I have been saying for some time that the UK may be the first country in history to have imposed sanctions on itself. I now remember that one of the few times when other countries imposed sanctions on us was in 1973/74(?) when the Arab states refused to let us have oil, and there was a big petrol shortage as a a result. Now we are indeed doing this to ourselves. Argh.
