The tariffs are unlawful you say? No worries, I’ll just introduce some more tariffs. That should sort it.

I agree! One final comment though; over 70% of 18-21yr olds weren’t in HE in 2016 so wouldn’t have been heading home! πŸ€”

The Referendum was held (in June) before ID requirements were introduced. I’ve worked at Polling Stations a number of times and the number of young folk coming into vote has been pitiful tbh.

Indeed. Had they turned out to vote in the first place, Brexit wouldn’t have happened!

Can’t imagine anybody (other than USA) buying American built cars either. If they’re built to lower environmental standards most parts of the world (particularly EU) wouldn’t allow them to go on sale. That will really help the beleaguered auto industry! πŸ™„

I honestly have no idea why anybody would buy one πŸ€”

Yet their net profit is approximately 2%. That is, for every Β£1 they make just 2p is profit. Their turnover is obviously massive!!

In doing so, you would eradicate most acquisitive crime in the process. And, hopefully, people would use more safely.

Reform slowly morphing into
a party of failed/disillusioned Tories. We had a Tory-Reform here in Derbyshire as well today.
