Many people dont grasp the reality of buying only British.
It actually hurts the economy and country. Ironically, you're hurting the UK.
Say goodbye to white goods, see petrol skyrocket in price, etc. The price in everday cheap products manufactured in the east skyrocket and more firms based in the UK go insolvant.
Then of course, we lose all money of import taxations ...Comment

Will a British red be as good value as the 4 quid Chilean stuff?
I've tried a few expensive French reds recently but I just don't see what the fuss is about? My palate prefers a robust Latin style, French wines are too thin IMO.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
