Boycott lunacy
As the lunatics are running the asylum on both sides of the Atlantic, here is how I am counteracting their actions.
In future, I will only buy goods made or grown in Europe. I will never buy goods or services through American owned companies eg. Cadbury (who are American owned although produce in Poland); Asda (now owned by an American company); Amazon (American owned and sucking the blood out of high streets); McDonald’s (no comment).
It’s not easy to find what you want if you set restrictions, but last month I bought a new vacuum cleaner made in France and felt like I had scored a goal at Stade de France.
