UK, the Little 5th Biggest Economy
I'm so unbelievably tired of the "we are 5th biggest economy" nonsense.
There are 3 economic superpowers, USA, EU and China. They are 57% of global GDP
UK is 2%
Rolla Cola is the 5th biggest cola brand… it doesn't dictate terms to Coke and Pepsi.

This is the typical result of @GOP control. They throw average Americans under the bus to boost their own wealth. There has never been, nor will there ever be, a trickle down benefit. pic.twitter.com/x9CnaljURV

Idiocy of Epic Proportions
This man has worked for Honda for 24 years. He or his future is not Project Fear. It is reality. It is his reality. His words are reality: “They haven’t got a clue. They can’t even decide themselves what Brexit means. This is idiocy of epic proportion.”pic.twitter.com/YG0bIAODsV

Marketing explainer for Brits:
McDonald’s uses “I’m loving it” and not “We have shit on our touchscreens.”
Honda says “Global Market Pressures” and not “You lot are fucking mental.”
By doing this, you will still buy their things.
