I know, it's bizarre.
But if these big businesses buggered off, where would the thousands they employ find a job? Surely it's better to attract big firms to give people jobs?

If McDonalds left, then why don't we have a British burger chain take over and employ the same people that McD's used to employ>?

Agreed. It's like a stream of "Labour think" data has been downloaded into him and the mouth opens every now again for some random stuff to pop out.

Yep... I was cursing the pompous **** when he came out with that.
If we raise the tax for the rich then these people who run businesses and who employ people will just leave the country. And that would mean unemployment going up

We had one. It was called Wimpey. But, it couldn't compete. I have no issue with firms from any country, including Britain, coming here to employ people.

I've taken contracts from plenty who live as tax exiles - like Branson - but run businesses here still.

From the same people who are complaining about firms exiting this country post Brexit

I used to love Wimpy's burgers when I was a nipper.

Yay, bring back Wimpy bars.
Quite good burgers as I recall.

Some posters just don't need to be engaged.

One look at him tells me he's not ever going to achieve anything.
He has no confidence and relies on volume.

Yes, it was quaint! You had burgers and chips served on proper plates! How British!
