Ethoxydiglycalamity

The ability of Britons to disguise their natural ugliness has been noticeably on the wane for several years, but until now the trend has for the most part been confined to the merely ethical. Now, thanks to the deception and cunning of the Heathen Chinee, there are threats to the very essence of our national superficiality. Rapid growth of the Chinese beauty industry has been cited as a reason for increased difficulty and expense in executing that precious alchemy by which members of the master race can exchange their dead-fish and gammon tints for something more woke. Clearly, the present disruption to the global supply chain can have consequences far beyond such trivial matters as food and fuel.
