    Consumers have massive power if only they would use it. If people stopped buying stuff that was made via slave/exploitative labour, the companies would either (1) cease to exist (2) Change their ways fast.

    Unfortunately too many people just don't give a ****, or don't think they can make a difference.

    The Tories will **** everyone over bar the ultra rich eventually.

    I give it 6-12 months before the folk from the ‘northern wall’ start openly admitting they made a mistake voting for those mutants.

    Yeah, I dunno. If Brexit has proved one thing, it's that voters don't like admitting they were wrong, even when they demonstrably are.

    A lot of those Labour voters who switched to Bozo's ****y Clown party did so because they thought 9 years of Tory austerity was all the fault of the EU. That's stupidity in action right there.

    Your lack of self-awareness is astounding. You get upset at a tongue in cheek joke commenting on how you choose to spend your money to highlight how you shouldn't be so quick to do the same to others. See how easy it is?

    I could carry this on, throw your latest response back at you again and say, why don,'t you open a warehouse and start selling a comprehensive range of products like Amazon and see how you get on with sales.

    But then you'd give some reply about having no desire to emulate some capitalist exploitationist unethical company. And then I'll say I have no desire to sell all self respect to become a stark raving lunatic in order to make a few book sales to a bunch of deluded flat-earthers.

    In which case I've saved us both a few posts so lets leave it there dude <ok>
