Re:UK Proposes Even More Stupid Ideas for Directly Regulatin... by notahacker on Saturday February 25, 2023 @06:28AM (#34935800)
The CMA investigated whether firms were stockpiling hand sanitizer and making excessive profits on it by creating artificial shortages, at a time when hand sanitizer was being promoted as an essential good. As your link acknowledges, they then promptly closed all the cases without further action.

Paying more to suppliers to import of a particular non-essential foodstuff in a year in which most food prices have risen is even less likely to invite action.

If fuel prices can legally double overnight and fuel vendors make larger markups as global prices stabilise without the CMA batting an eyelid, it's quite hard to pretend that the CMA is the obstacle to us having access to the same food supply chains as European supermarkets...
