The fall in oil prices will also hamper the Russian economy so that's another bonus. The rest of this guy's predictions sound a bit fanciful.

Donald Trump’s tariffs – why the fuss? As an ordinary UK citizen I see only upsides. First, it’s the Americans paying the tariffs, not us. The resulting fall in the price of oil and the value of the dollar should reduce the cost of my petrol. As Americans switch to bourbon and Californian wine, the price of my scotch whisky and French wine should come down. If other countries send more of their goods to the UK to avoid the tariffs, this will force UK producers to become more competitive to the benefit of ordinary people like me.

Following on from comments re: Guardian BTL being a fucking binfire, spotted today:

So would I have instant access to say, a thousand quid to fix my car in this socialist utopia? Or fifteen thousand quid to fix my roof?

Fucking dreamer.

Meanwhile, on a forum upon which I am banned from certain sections thereof, I learned today that certain individuals are praising Trump to the rafters because they've made a killing on the stock market and sneering at others along the lines of "well, if you're too stupid to play the markets like we do then you'll just have to enjoy your poverty."
