THE QUESTION:-
Is it ‘dangerous’ for countries to protect their own economies? Should government seek to protect their own economies and workers at this time? Or will this just worsen the downturn?
THE (REJECTED) ANSWER:-
COMMENT: I am in favour of “protectionism”. We need to protect our own economies; it’s not going to be done by anyone else.
The sham that is “globalisation” is unravelling faster than a 2nd-hand jumper, and we need to protect our own interests.
Some may argue that this could be unfair on other people, but how many other countries would risk their own economy in an effort to save ours? “Not many” is the truth.
I would like to urge people to buy British, except we don’t make anything any more.
COMMENT STATUS:Rejected
THE RULES:-
Keep your contributions civil, tasteful and relevant. Please:
No defamatory comments. A defamatory comment is one that is capable of damaging the reputation of a person or organisation. If successfully sued you could be held liable for considerable damages and costs.
Avoid contempt of court which means not posting anything that risks prejudicing on-going or forthcoming court proceedings.
Do not incite people to commit any crime, including incitement of racial hatred.
Avoid breaking a court injunction (for example, naming an individual or speculating as to their current whereabouts after a court has issued an injunction against doing so).
Do not post content which you’ve copied from someone else and don’t own the copyright.
Do not post messages that are unlawful, harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, homophobic or racially offensive.
Do not make multiple postings. So that we can publish comments from as many different people as possible, participants should keep their number of contributions per debate to a reasonable level. Multiple posts from one individual, or small number of individuals, discourages many others who might otherwise wish to take part.
No swearing. People of all ages read and contribute to Have Your Say. Please don’t use profanities or other words which might offend them.
No spamming or flooding. Don’t repost the same message, or very similar messages, more than once.
No personal information. It is not acceptable to publicise your or anyone else’s contact details including address, place of employment, name of educational establishment, telephone or mobile number, email address, etc. This is for your own safety and that of everyone who uses this service.
Keep your posts relevant. Each Have Your Say debate is about a particular story or issue of the day. Posts which aren’t relevant lower the value of the debate for everyone and may be removed.
No advertising, promotion of products or services, or posting of web links (URLs). If you know of a worthy web site relevant to the discussion, please inform the Have Your Say moderators via the Contact Us link.
Post in English only. Posts containing languages other than English may be removed. Common greetings and salutations in languages other than English may be acceptable.
No capital letters. This is internet shorthand for raising your voice. You can make your point perfectly well in lower case so please take the caps lock off.
No impersonating. Impersonating someone (including other members) is unacceptable.
No inappropriate usernames (vulgar, offensive, etc).
Markets Abuse Directive. Comments must not tip shares or make recommendations on investments.
No multiple memberships. Please do not create more than one membership. It is unfair to the other users who only have one membership and abide by the posting and recommendation limit.
Abusing the complaints system. Please don’t abuse the complaints system. It exists to enable visitors to alert the Have Your Say moderators about content which breaks the above rules. The complaints system cannot be used to complain about specific BBC programmes or services, or BBC coverage in general. Please do not use the complaints system to alert us to multiple postings, spelling mistakes and so on. Anyone who abuses the complaints system repeatedly may have their account suspended.
