					<description><![CDATA[Yes of course, and China dumping steel in a panic to combat its near slump in the property bust is just a minor detail. 

There is no such thing as competition with a one-party subcontinent which bases its model on what is effectively slave labour. 

Forget innovation if every company, every corporation, every university and R&#038;D blurb in the west has its Chinese counterpart. And believe me, they&#039;ve got the numbers to roll over everyone else. 

If you won&#039;t even acknowledge this, you cannot admit to the German model. The country is particularly allergic to China&#039;s dabbling with its so-called economy and basic fundamental of keeping its workers from their rights. 

The truth Matthew S, is that your prompt dismissal of any fact leads to your self contradiction. Europe and America are about to turn to fascism and here you are, telling people there&#039;s nothing they can do but embrace it if they have to. But it&#039;s just the way of the world. 

So you think I&#039;m into mechanics. Sweet.

					<description><![CDATA[Let me assure all you diehards that Nigel Farage isn&#039;t going anywhere. Standing down as UKIP leader gives him more time to focus on Brexit negotiations in Brussels. His political platform has mainly been that of an MEP, not as UKIP leader, which party is represented in Westminster by just one MP, albeit representing close to 4 million voters (that&#039;s nearly half as much as Labour). 

This is not the first time that Nigel Farage resigned. And it made no difference.

Hopefully, the British government, led by a new prime minister, will invite him to join the Brexit negotiating team, which is not only plausible, but sensible, given that he singlehandedly forced Cameron into a corner, causing the Brexit vote to follow.

He might even go on a European tour, who knows. I&#039;m sure you&#039;ll like that.

I&#039;ll close by saying how despicable I think some of the posts and comments have been. It all looks very childish from where I stand. So ill-informed and misguided. Hopelessly out-of-synch with reality. You see, you will never come to the right conclusions with the puerile falsehoods you have at hand. 

Your labelling and categorisation is very Soviet, I should add, not to throw at you other more disparaging labels myself.

I&#039;ll leave you to happily graze in these falsehoods prepared by the powers you think don&#039;t exist. 
Compassion is what you clearly need, and that&#039;s where I cannot help.]]></description>
