Doom & Gloom

Its just around the corner from what I read and here. Reading the thread about the housing bubble starting to burst and the fact that most companies in Ireland are now British owned. If all these houses become empty and are at present empty followed by companies closing down or moving once the brits realise no more profits are possible, what will happen to us.

I was shocked to find a British company now owns 9 provincial newspapers in Ireland and Roches Stores is British owned. I think this may lead to a crash landing.

I was shocked to find a British company now owns 9 provincial newspapers in Ireland why shocked, we fooled them into paying big prices for themand Roches Stores is British owned. I think this may lead to a crash landing.

The issue for me is not who owns the shops but that we are buying stuff made by child labour from all over the world.

Yeah that is the real crux of the matter. I would rather buy from Ireland or EU countries, but e.g., I have stopped going to M&S because of all the money they give to Israel (it would be like supporting child brutality IMHO).

A lot of cheap goods can be made by suspect labour in the middle of nowhere; I used not check but now I do.

Err you're off your head. American multinationals are one of the main driving forces of the Irish economy. Can't remember the last time I heard of a British owned company in the country in any significant sense.

I'd err on the side of troll.

Dont mean to divert the discussion but FYI ..

Money you give to Starbucks also goes to Israel to buy weapons, something to think about when you're sipping on your latte!
