We hear all the doom and gloom about companies relocating to other countries post Brexit but why would they do that? If they are not present in this country to trade here why are they here in the first place? Some companies, Nissan springs to mind, did not build various car plants around the UK because they felt sorry for the poor old brits, they came here because of both our expertise and various sweeteners thrown their way.

we hear remoaners harping on about how it is going to set us back 50 years but why should it. If we manage to find a government capable of strong leadership we can be great once again. No doubt the doom and gloom merchants will jump on such claims as being unrealistic but success is bourn out of encouraging new business.

What exactly do the current government muppets do to encourage enterprise? This country makes a lot of money out of financial services but grass roots industry is what knits communities together and creates local wealth. Where are the start up units with peppercorn rents to encourage potential businesses to have a go? Our lot have not been able to think beyond selling all the social housing stock to make ends meet. It is time to give the professional politicians the big heave ho! and pass the reins to business minded people who can think beyond the short term and look towards long term wealth.

I wanted to rent some office space but what was available (all private) was exorbitantly expensive and out of my budget. Our local council don't have any office space available but they have managed to convert what was a learning centre, based in an old mill, into a very luxurious paper shuffling factory for their own employees. The money is there, the need is there but unfortunately the purse strings are in the hands of highly educated visionless idiots.
