Why the terrified gasps at the mere mention of a progressive social policy for the UK? would it mean an end to business and/or trade?... No :/

We cannot even keep them open let alone export them Kizzy looking at all the empty store and shop buildings I have seen on my travels around the UK.

All very well building them, once they cripple business with high rates and energy charges then business just pulls out and we are left with an empty shell standing there.

Maybe he means these glitzy mega malls that are popping up everywhere, maybe that's the fate for the UK as the 'white rose centre' for the rest of the world?

How many times do you need to be told that replying with single emotes or 2 word answers does not constitute a political argument??
