Shares in companies making wall components should increase in value.

Just seen this ad on Craigslist over there :

"Wanted : about 8 to 9 BILLION house bricks; preferably 2nd hand (funds are tight).

Oh, and is anyone handy with a trowel?"

Problem is with all the bbc lampooning we are woefully unimformed about what his policies might be. Slightly off topic but the bbc need to have a long look at how they report the news without applying their political correct prism and thus distorting the facts.

OK, can you tell us what his policies are? Not his rhetoric, his policies. Or are you so woefully uninformed that you dont realise that the BBC isnt the only source of news.

There are a lot of Mexicans willing and able I hear.

Rather conveniently, they seem to live within commuting distance.

He wants other NATO countries to stump up more money, on the basis that the USA is carrying a lot of the defence burden.

He might have a point.

Don't be surprised if he reinvents himself yet again.

I think the campaign was just sales rhetoric.

People moan about how the Brexit Team manipulated facts in our referendum.

I wouldn't be a pollster looking for work right now!

So another one wins by lying to the electorate. Another sad day for democracy.

Policies are about what you are going to do, not things you would like other people to do.

It was the Americans after all who first pioneered the use of voter targetting, using databases and data mining.

The effectiveness of this impressed Blair so much he adopted it's use in the '97 Labour GE campaign.

If politics is treated as just a product, then voters become just consumers. And votes are just sales alas.

Spot on, liberals have no idea the huge simmering resentment that a narrow recieved wisdom is dispensed by the BBC, that not only gives a one sided view but has the temerity to frame all other views are wrong or conspiracies.

A prime example is Putin. Yes he's a danger, yes he's reckless, BUT we never get the view from the side of Russians, other than via RT which the BBC and liberal class dismiss out of hand, never bothering to actually engage with the view from the Russian side. This antagonises Brits that have a proper view of both sides, and really rubs Russia up he wrong way

RT is the voice of the Kremlin, it's about as honest as Fox News.

Why do certain types use "liberal" as an insult? Being in favour of learning other people's views and challenging your own is hardly a bad thing
