Xenophobia - maybe for some, but not for me.
Some like to make an informed decision about their purchases. Whether it be where it was made, is the product eco-friendly, the list goes on.
If all that matters is quality of the product and price then so be it, but our personal power is not just exercised when we vote but also when we spend our earnings.
So when someone says Xenophobia is a reason for buying Britsh, to me they are misguided. Taking an informed approach to your purchases for ethical reasons is a responsible approach.
Would you be happy knowing your shiny new Hi-Fi set up was manufactured in a country where human rights are a low priority (amongst other possibilities) or should they be just happy to have a job.
Sounds sensible to me. We all choose our kit for different reasons and if some of us want to support British manufacturers, where this is possible, then so be it.
This is a free country after all and this web site will help those who feel that way to make an informed choice. However,it seems to be run on a voluntary basis so its accuracy could be questioned unless all of the manufacturers provide up to date details.
