So it's OK for us to waste public money as long as it goes back into our own economy? As an economic policy I can see a few flaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an economic policy I can see a few flaws. Is it wasted if it goes back into our own policy. I can see a few flaws with an economic policy where government stop spending money with local suppliers and stop paying government staff wages.

I wonder who provides the ice cream? Davisons or Gelatory? Have they got a 10 year exclusivity agreement? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
