I read that Trumps' campaign had 80 odd people working full time for him, costing 30-40 million.
Clinton has over 700 full time at a supposed cost of over 200 million, go figure!
Oh, and Trump refuses to put a single dollar of his own in, bless him.

So Trumps campaign is paying $90k a head more per person, even at the low estimate. He only needs about 6 because he says the first thing that comes into his head anyway and the TV gives him all the media time he needs.

Brexit causes dramatic drop in UK economy, data suggests

Britain's decision to leave the EU has led to a "dramatic deterioration" in economic activity, not seen since the aftermath of the financial crisis.

Data from IHS Markit's Purchasing Manager's Index, or PMI, shows a fall to 47.7 in July, the lowest level since April in 2009. A reading below 50 indicates contraction.

Both manufacturing and service sectors saw a decline in output and orders.

However, exports picked up, driven by the weakening of the pound.

The report surveyed more than 650 services companies, from sectors including transport, business services, computing and restaurants.

It asked them: "Is the level of business activity at your company higher, the same or lower than one month ago?"

For manufacturers, it asked whether production had gone up or down.

The PMI is the first significant set of data measuring business reaction to the result of the UK referendum.

6 dead, 3 prepatrators according to police via BBC. Also people offering their homes as safe havens on Twitter for people stuck on the street. City in lockdown.

This **** has got to stop.

Col at some point a heavy hand will fall. For too long Europe has tolerated too much. Just think back to that Abu Hamza, being allowed to preach hate for so long. He needed to be stopped and deported straight away. We should not put up with these hate groups. If the don't like our country or our ways they can @@@@ off.

I think you're right.
We may have to drop down to their level instead of just burying our heads in the sand till the next time.

Not sure that this is the case with this bloke Ellers, he was born in Munich even with Iranian origins, and the Germans are still saying he was following Brevik. God knows what the motivation is. Might have more in common with that cretin who killed Jo Cox.

If some form of state sanctioned clampdown doesn't come we might see vigilante type action which will only make things worse.

Only the innocent, people who just want to get on with their lives and other people calmly and quietly, will suffer, just like always.
