Where possible I'd like my money to stay in the UK, not line the pockets of non-UK workers.Comment

Actually if you do truly buy British, you should be buying weapons, guided missiles and anti-depressants, because that's what the British make, and of course life insurance where your money is poured down the drain.

Difference now is that loads of 'British' companies are foreign owned, like all the major football teams (foreign owned, foreign manager, foreign players ). Are their fans going to boycott matches? Thought not.
If it means having to buy 'artisan' tulipe with a massive markup to pay for the owner's beard oil, latest tattoo and a day-glow orange tan for their burd they can shove their campaign. Those are getting nowt out of me.Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.Comment
