just because you do, doesn't mean you should.

Ying and Yang. In twenty years time the UK with be a 4th world country producing stuff for Chinese consumers. Then we can make copies of high end Chinese original guitars, the 'Englechibson special'.
I don't always believe it comes down to consumer hypocrisy with cheap foreign products. I think we have been slowly nudged toward accepting (and for some families necessitating) cheap imported products where cost are cut at the sufferance of the workforce. It has been years since the majority of workers in this country got a pay rise and even those that do never receive anything in line with inflation. Despite this the cost of living and essential outlays has grown. The large majority of families in Britain get poorer year on year. The paper over the cracks answer that suits both rich and poor regardless of core principles is cheap foreign products. The rich own the companies that import masses of foreign products so they continue to see their money pile grow. As for the poor, principles are nice but kids still need clothing and feeding.
I don't feel the amount of cheap imported product is due to a public cry for lower prices but is in fact propping up a situation where the average level of relative wealth in this country has fallen so much that a lot of families would severely struggle without them.
The day we see unilateral ethical consumerism in this country will be the day before a civil uprising at the gross inequality on wealth we increasingly see.
