From Blustering Buffoon Boris to the seriously inept Esther, I can hardly see a candidate worthy of being called Prime Minister! Few, if any, have any grasp of economics. Let us look at a few things in the round. We voted to leave the EU, thereby we voted to create a border between Northern Ireland …
Brexit has gone far enough. Here is a brief summary of UK economy. Primary Industry: Financial Services.
