What was life like for small UK companies trying to export to the EU in 2021, post Brexit and what can they expect in 2022? We recommend some good reads in categories from fiction to autobiography and self-help, and start with a review of End State by James Plunkett, the most optimistic book I’ve read in ages.  We explore some commonly held beliefs about over population and ask is it possible the poorest in society pay the highest rates of tax?  To wrap up we look under the hood at the Daily Mail and bogey man of the left its Editor in Chief, Paul Dacre.
