I do whenever I can. Support the United Kingdom!

[PsytanicA]

Well yes, if you come from a country that supplies all of the bare essentials then YEAH by from your own countries brands and goods. Because you are helping them out, helping your local economies, and helping to build your country to a more brighter future. And here's the reward it's much cheaper and also will give you that warm fuzzy feeling of pride within yourself. That's the old fashioned way of building a country it worked back in the old days and it will most certainly work today.

Buying British means employing British people

[pip]

Buy British I didn't know we produced anything !

[ruthcollins]

What does the UK make anymore? I buy locally meats etc.

[cheeseburgereddie]

I support my country in buying but if I buy here shouldn't be taxed a stupid amount fair enough in other countries

[truthhurts]

Support you're local butcher, none halal

[trevorbrewster]

Well I fancy a nice bit of bleached chicken from the USA or British for me

[runcatrun]

If the British can afford it since British stuff will cost more then the ported stuff.

[markkerr]

British food prices are expensive, I do buy what I can from the uk but it is pricey

[blackniall]

I bet that Lad who don't wanna buy things made in the UK calls himself a socialist

[andrewoliver]

Whilst businesses buy stuff based on the bottom line, I'll do the same.
Market forces, market forces, market forces...

[martinguest]

I buy a lot of British sourced products from Lidl and Aldi they do get supplies from uk farms and food companies more than British supermarkets

[GuerrillaWallFlair]

I don't know but if you're going to buy a gallon of milk make sure it doesn't have a beard.

[susanstretton]

Yes we should and would. But if you look in the supermarkets there is so much we can't produce due to selling off our assets so have no choice to buy things from abroad. Some Fruit cannot be grown here as we don't have the climate or growing infrastructure to do so.

[djbogz]

I don't really care as long as it's affordable
