They want to leave the ECHR because it will allow them to abolish the State Pension, the Minimum Wage, and paid holiday and sick leave.

It would make them tens of billions a year.

But of course they say immigration, because they can't tell you the real reason.

I wouldn't consider a visit to the US while the current administration is in place. As I run a hospitality business, I do feel for those small non-MAGA businesses that will go under over the next 4 years because of the hostility of this government.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.

There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.

The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

It makes me sad that we feel we have to avoid visiting the US as it is a beautiful country. I work in hospitality in the UK and know what an impact any reduction in visitors will have on jobs and local economies.
