    Making it?

    Rise in unemployment

    Spin infested link about unemployment on the rise - interesting bit is the loss of 95,000 jobs in manufacturing in the last year - only 3.2m employed in the whole sector. Wonder what will happen when we really don't make anything anymore?

    According to Adam Smith we will then surely face an erosion of wealth, poverty and a diet of herring and potatoes.

    Of course there might be the lucky ones who make some money pandering to Chinese tourists.

        Nothing wrong with pickled herrings and potatoes, ask any Dane.

            It will not affect us Northerners, we already live on bread and dripping. Might delay our inside toilet project though

              Aha

              "Us northerners"
              'Indoor toilet project"
              'video of his lass"

              You are HHH, aren't you? Should that be, weren't you?
              Why not?

                wasn't HHH already another persona of some other, who had been banned several times?
