No. Not unless you want the economy to end up like Zimbabwe's
I don't see the connection. As I said, it's quite common in the USA
and their economy isn't exactly a disaster zone.
I'm curious there's not more support for this; recent floods, scrotes
asking five quid for a bottle of water, how can that be right?... I
supposed the British way is just to give them a good kicking...
