    So EU citizens are boycotting British goods to punish British people?

      LOL
      Just a fact, when Brexiteers buy British they have no impact on the trade deficit and end up with some low quality sh*te they don't really want to make a point.

      I'm alright Jack

        Just demonstrates the futility of a "buy British" slogan.

            Imagine this scenario: you are a EU citizen living in the UK. The decision of leaving the EU is forced upon you (because EU citizens were not allowed to vote in the brexit referendum). Now you have a choice: you can buy british products and support a country that clearly doesn't want you and all your fellow immigrants; or you can buy EU products to support and strengthen the EU economy, where you'll eventually go back because the UK has become a fascist tuliphole.

            Easy choice.

                Ummm no..

                The vote was not about stopping all 'foreigners' from coming into the Uk - it was about leaving the political body which was the EU - an outcome of that is the loss of completely freedom of movement.

                What we wanted to stop was completely unfettered migration of people arriving in the EU from outside, being given asylum - and then traipsing through many other EU countries together to the UK - which is not how it should work.

                Anyone who is a has proved themselves to be a productive member of UK society or has the skills to prove they could be and wishes to integrate into UK society is welcome regardless of their race, colour or creed.

                  All I've said is you should stop conflating wanting to buying British, with wanting citizens of EU countries to suffer (and/or detesting every country on the continent), which is 100% your strawman creation.

                  So, no - it's your 'whatabouttery/slippery slope/move the goal posts routine' - I've just called it out as such. Sorry, you must try harder.
                  The words used were "Avoid buying... at all costs"

                  I most humbly apologise for using the word "refusing", because avoiding at all costs is completely different to refusing.

                  But since your pedantry and deflection knows no bounds, you now need to apologise as I never used the word "refuse", even though you put it in quotes and then later "refused" again in quotes, implying I said it.

                  It still is deflection on your part as you refuse to answer the question regarding the difference between consumers buying from companies or individuals based in Europe and "the EU"

                  As usual, you want to deflect from the point to try to avoid the difficult concept of thinking about what is being discussed.
                  …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                    So British people aren't buying British goods, how unpatriotic...
                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
