As a point of interest... how about you go round your house making a list of the stuff that was made in China. What sort of percentage does that represent? Then chuck it all out out and buy British replacements.

In real terms, I suspect there will be some sort of revolution there within the next 10 years. Then they'll turn into a true capitalist society and take over the world!

Celebrate St Padddy's Day with them?

Happy St Paddy's Day!

I think you're right on both counts and I suppose I'm getting to the point where I want to do something about it. I had hoped (however unlikely) that the olympics would have opened their minds a little (and I'm talking about the government here, I accept the people are just people and pretty brainwashed) but they seem to be so defiant about all this.

Governments of the world wont apply sanctions to them because we need them for cheap labour but that wont be the case forever. I just dont feel comfortable anymore supporting a country with this approach so from now on I'm going to avoid their products where I can -

Buy japanese instead - we've always got on famously with them :cough:
