Most politicians are idiots or beholden to special interests who rarely work to the commonwealth.

The thing people seem to forget with tariffs is that it is them who is paying in the end. There have to be tariffs. If you take this to its logical conclusion and totally abandon tariffs, the only way to avoid a race to the bottom would be to run a single market similar to the EU but on a global basis, to all intents and purposes a world government. Otherwise there would be no protection whatsoever from the interests of laissez-faire capitalism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 It’s all over the press. Some snowflake journalist asked if this offence against the pc brigade required resignation. He’s issued a grovelling apology acknowledging how he wasn’t enough woke. Load of guff but only Woody would fail to notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote A new video has emerged of Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, wearing blackface, a day after he admitted such behaviour was racist. On Wednesday, the embattled PM apologised for wearing brownface make-up at a gala at a private Vancouver school where he taught nearly two decades ago. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-49758613 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
