I have no issue with free market competition or the free flow of people; the British working class aren't owed a living any more than any other people - but what I feel is entirely iniquitous is our welfare and healthcare being shared with people who have contributed nothing whatsoever towards it. This is a gross betrayal by our politicians. Production follows cheap labour.

So I started to check. I found another one where the vegetables were a product of Belgium. What the heck? This continent has a huge production of vegetables, why are we buying them from tiny Belgium who probably don't produce enough to feed their own population? Where are their vegetables coming from? I don't get it. The other day someone pointed out to me that a certain brand of frozen vegetables in the store here came from China. So I started to check.

I will let you into a secret, I have never ever been to a Tory Party Conference, so you are unlikely to meet me there. I'm too busy at home with the boys and my work, though I am sure I would enjoy it. Well Shirl, if our government is keen to promote Britishness, let's get that: "Made in Britain" sign back on our products. Never mind "bribing" school kids to make oaths. Curmudgeon, we have our fair share of scandals here too! Maalie, I love your dream, how funny.

We don't seem to make much of anything in America anymore. Except scandals. We make lots of scandals. Good luck getting anything made in Britain.

I will endeavour to boycott them BUT feel that is not really the point - the Polish are entitled to work, yes, just not our chocolates! Just a quick visit...thanks for your good wishes.
