No but some of the staff at Lidl do and that's trickle down in action. It doesn't mean some billionaire goes and spend money in McDs (even if they do) it means they spend it in shops, getting trades in to do jobs and they spend what they get. |

Strangely enough, around here, people work for money and do a pretty good job. Maybe that's why we have a can do ethic and don't have significant unemployment. Yes and that is trickle down. |

Lots of restaurants etc closing down due to the low oil prices so oil types losing their jobs. And the housing market has crashed too. Worked stopped on new builds. It doesn't take a degree in economics to work out why. Been falling for two years. Why blame Brexit? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-slowdown.html He isn't, why not read what was said and try to understand it? |

It means nothing unless it is sustained. It means nothing unless you also look at trading volumes It means nothing even when you do, too easy to manipulate. |

Odd that they didn't believe in any promises made at general elections, so not worth bothering to vote, but did with this one. Another big problem, allegedly, on no evidence at all The only lies Dave wants you to believe are the ones he believes in Dave doesn't believe in anything. He just wants to make a pile of money for himself and his mates. Eg, think Post Office. |

A lot of politicians on the remain side were asked today when 'WW3' would start or when the horrors of leavings would come about. I didn't hear one straight answer. It seems now that you don't have to be a EU member to also be a member of NATO You never have had to have been. Even you must have noticed that the USA isnt. or take part in police and terrorist information co-operation etc. etc. etc. Ditto in spades. |
