More good news. Though some will do their best to pour cold water over it.

I think you will find that Lidl and Aldi are creating far more jobs through new store openings than Snapchat ever will. That is a more realistic view of where we are going and it's not the top 1% earners who are clogging up their aisles.

No need the story sells itself Snapchat dont see themselves as major employers and effectively bribed by low corporation tax rates.

Laws are drafted by government and pass with oversight of parliament. Regulations are drafted by bureacrats and implemented under existing legislation, with no further scrutiny of oversight.

Studio150 didn't pour cold water on it. He put it into context and kept it in proportion, that's all. Big difference.

Those jobs are somebody's lifeline. Poor show to discredit them

Are you saying that someone was discrediting the jobs or the applicants? I haven't noticed anyone doing either. Please explain!

I thought I was getting a grasp on Leave speak but I'm lost again, as they seem to be able to read something that is not present in the words written, or even hidden in a Enigma code within the text.

Perhaps he recognised the comment as one which was intended to be derogatory (which it was) and responded accordingly.

You talk like the EU came up with original laws for working conditions.You confuse 'laws' for regulations. The main tenants of the EU are the problem not the periphery concern.
How the EU affects your life
For a thousand years the United Kingdom was free, independent and trading with the rest of the known world.
For the past 42 years, the United Kingdom has been part of the European Union (EEC and EC). The UK’s ability to act as a nation state is being increasingly constricted to the point where the EU now dominates the UK. Some independence is left, importantly the British currency, but every day more power and more control ebbs away to Brussels.
Since the days of Edward Heath in the 1970s, all British governments of whichever party have assumed and continue to assume that Britain must be at the heart of Europe. They even claim that the UK can have a positive influence, beyond its limited voting powers, to change the EU for the better, that is towards a free market group of nations co-operating together.
The UK cannot.
Europhiles maintain loudly that the UK is too small to prosper outside the EU, too small to go it alone. Yet that belies our history, it belies the facts of our global trade and it belies the strength of our country. It is also an insult to most countries of the world, smaller than the UK, which remain independent and free. Propagandists claim the EU will safeguard peace in Europe, yet creating a political and economic union of disparate and diverse countries within a generation or two creates fissures and tensions that could erupt into serious and widespread civil unrest and has already done so in Greece.
Europhiles say that the advantages of being inside the EU are so obvious that they are not willing even to discuss what life might be like outside the EU. They try to shut down debate by refusing to engage. Yet the financial costs alone are huge, the regulatory costs restrict and even destroy British trade, farming and fishing. It is no exaggeration to say that more than a million jobs have been lost because of Britain’s membership of the EU. How much more than a million? No one knows. No meaningful cost-benefit analysis has ever been done.
Fantastic post,superb.
