    I think you've nailed it right there. The Rich Liberal Left has become over concerned with this stuff, whilst not caring about the problems and difficulties of real working people to whom none of this stuff matters on a day to day basis.

    The rich Liberal Elite seem to care little for real people - they have their noses well and truly in the trough - while they coat themselves in a Liberal veneer that makes them feel good about themselves. And they act all superior. Nauseating.

    Nevertheless they expect the white working classes (aka as chaves or white trash) to continue to vote Labour or Democrat - when they don't - the elitist Left then hurl abuse at them- you're racists and thick, etc.
    Your fake anti elitism and posturing is nauseating. As if you understand 'real people'..I suppose a tory does understand them in one way....the self interested bit of us.......that's the bit we should always keep under control though because it's our dark side!

    Just because minorities have begun standing up for themselves and made an issue of their identity....the traditional 'interest groups' feel threatened.....that's good....... it'll make them realise what it's like to be black in Detroit or Clapton-On Sea. Black people, women, Mexicans, gays, trans genders etc etc are just as real....and they have suffered discrimination and the politics of hate for far longer than anyone else! That's the point.

    Well, I'm still not sure why we're focussing so hard about the cost of a CD. Pick any other product you like and we can discuss Thrug's original post that I responded to.

    Ask the poster who picked CD then, because it certainly wasn't me!

    This is possibly more interesting

    It might just be exploring, or token gestures by Apple, but it does seem clear that there is recognition of a different mood in the USA.

    Get the manufacturing process efficiently organised, and there is still plenty of profit in making an iPhone even in the USA.

    As machines replace people, the advantages of having a cheap labour supply will diminish. This will present challenges not just in the West, but to every corner of the globe I should imagine.

    Clapton-On Sea.
    Is this a seaside resort aimed at knuckle-dragging white english supremacists? :)
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    which is a good reason why you should be against EU protectionism and welcome brexit with the opportunity of having a better economic policy.

    Nonsense. Free trade across the EU is high up my priority list so a vote for Brexit is a vote to put that at risk.

    Looks like the days of the Tories tearing themselves apart over Europe might not be quite be over.

    Indeed. I still however believe that tariffs will be set at 0% on those goods where it's in the UK consumers best interests.

    It's in the consumer's best interest for all goods to be tariff free.

    Apropos of Brexit, is it true that on the day of the vote, the House of Lords was flooded with sewage, causing a terrible stink?

    All goods won't be tariff free after brexit either.
