Emergency biscuits flown into UK due to national shortage
- This article is from the Independent Elsa Vulliamy, however I originally found it on Twitter with the caption 'I have never heard of anything more British'This is the story following two cargo planes bringing emergency biscuits into South Yorkshire after United Biscuits factory in Carlisle- manufacturer of McVitie’s, Jacob’s and Crawford’s products- was forced to close after a flood.
I found this story interesting after following our recent research into regional and national identity, and I thought that this story was quite odd how for country who is usually desperate to diffuse the stereotype that in Britain all we care about is tea, however in a usually very serious newspaper such as the Independent it represents Britain as a country only interested in very trivial things.
