JohnDuncan:Gentlemen, gentlemen. I think accusations of xenophobia are somewhat wide of the mark (some people actually *do* care where things are made, you know).
However, I do think: 1) the 'I buy secondhand' argument is somewhat na‹ve (IMO) 2) if you want to avoid exploitative goods, I'd suggest you stop eating, wearing clothes, and plugging anything in 3) if agreeing with a government's ideology is a prerequisite for buying that country's goods, I'd best start packing up the Uniti
Well said on the first point John, as far the rest of the xenophobic / ethical debate goes - I think everyone should give the poor bloke a break and stop trying to tie him up in knots.
Personally Im all for buying British and lots and lots of other ethical ideas, but as I happen to live in the real world Im also easily swayed by a better deal etc,
doesnt make me a bad person.Thanks for the heads up on the web site sedish chef, even if it is a bit rubbish
this is very much up for debate
