Coupled with the Tata announcement, one must assume the government has at long last decided its time it put a stop to de-industrialisation.

It looks like we have the industrial policy that many have been asking for and that can only be good news.
Policies tend to be published. What we have at the moment are secret deals which we do not know the cost of or the promises being made.

Don't get me wrong, I welcome the jobs it brings in, especially during times when we were told that only jobs would be leaving. I respect it as a corporation, just have the lifestyle and culture it has created among the British.



I am a bit tired tbh, but I don't like seeing people wear nike or adidas clothing which dominates the McDonald's "restaurant" as to me it represents poor, working class, Jeremy Kyle, tattoos, obesity and criminality, the six things I hate. Unfortunately for McDonald's, for the people I have described it is their home.



I've had the misfortune to go in many times when I was younger, I also have friends that go there frequently as well as being able to see through the windows. I'm also not keen on the workers there, most of whom hate their jobs and the managers tend to be older women who are chubby and I don't like chubby women.
Yes how dare people be on low incomes or working class. I can't work out whether you're a troll or the worst kind of judgmental snob.

I think that figure relates to Mcdonalds franchises not Mcdonalds itself.
Like the many other Coffee houses, franchised. I suspect you will be wasting time in trying to explain.

No point in feeding troll dribble, bullies normally and it makes them feel better.
However, most people that work in MacDonald’s are younger people seeing their way through College/ University, or people getting some work experience for whatever reason and good money if you are franchise owner. Still I would stick to fish and chips, easier money .

Chubby women are criminals imo. The female body is one of the greatest pieces created by God, to wreck it by eating food is like wrecking the stone david statue. Those who do that don't deserve to breathe our oxygen.

So you would advocate death for chubby women? That's an interesting philosophy. Where do chubby men and children feature in this doctrine?

And as a matter of interest what other 'crimes' that don't meet your standards would merit a death sentence?

But that's probably a moot question, right? As you have to be on the wind-up. The alternative is just too ridiculous to contemplate.

Poor people should be banned from breeding, those earning under 10k should not be allowed to be parents of children. This is for child protection purposes.

It should also be illegal for children to be overweight, with parents with obese parents getting fined.

I have never eaten a McDonalds or eaten or drunk anything else from McDonalds in my life but I am happy they will be paying UK corporation tax
Basically, indeed. Rather they have a tax deal here (assuming that'll be the case) and brown envelope under the table sweetners etc.... (again, assuming that'll be the case) added to UK coffers.

(iirc, this had nowt to do with Brexit to. Has been quite a while in the planning and likelihood).
