Typical divide and rule. For Bojo,Gove et al Scotland is a convenient place to park US missiles, edit that would be the UK's independent deterrent, and a source of tough blokes to man the SAS and that's it. To them Saudi Arabia is far more important. If I were Scottish I'd be pee'd off!

OMG you are so racist. I think you will find a very wide variety of opinion among the English, in fact we are as bloody minded as the Scots and Welsh.

i see trumpy been tweeting:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
“I promised that my policies would allow companies like Apple to bring massive amounts of money back to the United States. Great to see Apple follow through as a result of TAX CUTS. Huge win for American workers and the USA!”

Football seems to bring out the worst in people. Please don't tar all of us based on the behaviour of idiots.

For the record, I think teams whose fans misbehave should be penalised and fined in any competitive tournament they might be involved in.
 
think if you look, apple have just announced 20 000 new jobs stateside

The devil is in the details as always:

https://www.fastcompany.com/40518075/apples-u-s-jobs-announcement-comes-at-an-opportune-time

https://slate.com/business/2018/01/no-apple-is-not-creating-20-000-jobs-because-of-the-tax-bill.html

http://www.slate.com/articles/techn...m_that_it_s_building_three_u_s_factories.html

The company said it plans to pay $38 billion in repatriation taxes to bring home about $246 billion in cash. (It had already earmarked $36 billion for the tax payment back in November.)

The punchline here is that Apple did not actually say that it is investing any additional money in the U.S. because of the tax law. That idea appears nowhere in the press release

Apple will keep buying stuff from other U.S. companies. This is not a patriotic act of charity. Apple is literally saying it will continue business as usual. That alone accounts for $275 billion of its $350 billion forecast.

Apple doesn’t build factories anywhere: Instead, it contracts with manufacturers such as Taiwan’s Foxconn to build its devices



In other news:


In January, Ford let Trump to claim credit for its decision to cancel a planned factory in Mexico and add jobs in Michigan instead. It was later revealed that the company had already planned the Michigan jobs as part of an agreement with its union. Then, in June, it let slip that it would simply expand production in China rather than Mexico.

Conclusion: What Trump or his administration might make of a situation does not mean it is fact. I must say however that the US should have been fostering more growth in high end markets and research and development in emerging technologies. As Roger points out, some of the largest tech companies are based in the US, they should be chasing after this and encouraging people to retrain into those industries, not trying to revive coal mining and steel making which, like many other industries will be subjected to ever more automation and price pressures as newer economies with very low labour costs enter the fray.
 
You are never going to hear about any of the positive effects of this administration from the 90 % of Trump hating media, that is a sad fact. Meanwhile in the real world the silent majority who are Trump supporters continue to enjoy the rewards that are taking place in the country today.He is continuing to put the country and its people first, something we never saw under the Obama admin.
