    The Japanese were annoyed because they kept getting different amounts of change from their 10000 Yen notes when buying fags. Carole simply said "fluctuations". The Far East chap steamed out, shouting "Fluck you too!"

    Yeah sure, doing support for some local yokel company with no foreign trade is certainly a "special" model.
    And one that is sustainable by the country as whole

    We should just shrink our economy so that corner shops, tattoo parlours and hair-cutting businesses are the bulk of what we do.
    Maybe you should inform your glorious Brexit leaders, they seem to be wasting their time hiring loads of expensive lawyers to negotiate silly trade deals.

    So now let's take the next logical step:
    Since we have "very little of quality to export", what do you expect to trade if all these hypothetical deals with non-EU countries come about?

    If you want to try patronising someone else (that means talking down to them like the condescending penis you are btw), good luck.

    We talk a lot, achieve very little. But if a terrorist in Afghanistan says some nasty words then suddenly we've got billions to spend on war.

    Do you know how much UK debt has increased under the Tories? Labour would seem to be in the clear now. Until 2116 at least.
