Which is why they shouldn't. If they just going to stoop to his level what's the point?

Why not accuse Nigel Farage of things he's actually done. It's not like there's a shortage or anything, why resort to this nonsense?

One of the biggest reasons for effective homelessness (not living on the streets exactly but not having a permanent address) is the cost of housing which is in no small part being driven up by people buying to rent. So the fact that she even has rental properties in the first place is itself a problem.

She's hardly going to vote to increase taxes on landlords if she herself is a landlord.

Yeah because it turns out they can't aim worth a damn.

If I had the money and the means I would probably smuggle insulin into the United States from countries where it's reasonably priced, mostly just for the entertainment value.

Why is the US dollar always worth less than the pound and the euro, if it's this great functioning economy? I've never been able to work that one out.

Somehow I can just tell where this photo was taken.

That is the most British looking paving slams I've ever seen.

There's good evidence that homo sapiens didn't invent the shovel. That was technology almost certainly taken from another human species, which suggests a fairly integrated society. You could imagine different species of human all living together, it is certainly behaviour that has been observed in other primates so there is precedent.

God these people are dumb.

Imagine thinking like that. Does this guy not know how technology works, has he been alive for only 5 minutes.

If you want to see the rapid progress of technology go look at video games, 20 years ago if you had 30 polygons on screen at the same time you were doing well, now we have photo realistic graphics.

It's like when I want to get my cats in from outside. They don't want to come in of course so I have to shake the bag of treats, when they come in they give them like five even though clearly they would like the entire packet.

They never learn.

Plus of course the problem that chip manufacturing is not a US traditional industry, so there probably isn't that much skilled labor.

Ironically they're probably going to end up having to hire foreign nationals.
