    and yet, I still answered it and then asked you to respond with direct answers to direct questions, as I did to you;

    Is deliberately refusing to buy (or "avoid buying... at all costs") from certain countries and people because you want them to fail - is that a positive aspiration of "lots of Brexiteers" that PG knows?
    Are you able to speak on behalf of them?
    Bravo, mr question avoider.

    Oh look, I directly answered your queries, then asked you to provide the same courtesy and instead, you've avoided my questions and asked some more of your own? There's a surprise.

    Come on, stop avoiding and answer mine now.

    I'll wait.

    Perhaps he must imagine that because "lots of Brexiteers" think something, that it somehow follows that many other people in the world have another opinion, that the two are intrinsically linked and that somehow I am supposed to be all-knowing about how absolutely everyone thinks.

    If they are buying British, that's good for the economy and good for the environment.

    Many of us have talked about doing that for ages, but that doesn't mean we detest every country in Europe and hope that all their citizens suffer. That's the difference.

    Again;
    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.

    Also, are all the EU citizens buying only EU also wanting UK citizens to suffer and detest the UK, or does it only work 1 way in your head?

    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.

    Leaving the EU means some of the outcomes we will see are probably leaving the SM and CU and potentially more control over immigration.

    But that was not the reason behind leaving the EU just some of the consequences.
