Nothing you could say about that orange shit heap would be too strong for this Aussie at least.

I take offence on behalf of the Nazgûl. They have done nothing to deserve being associated with such an abomination.

“Self inflicted economic crisis”

"When I was in China last week, more than a few people asked me if Trump was launching a “cultural revolution” the way that Mao did. Mao’s lasted 10 years — from 1966 to 1976 — and it wrecked the whole economy after he instructed his party’s youth to destroy the bureaucrats that he thought were opposing him.

This question was so much on the mind of one retired senior Chinese official that he emailed me last week, with a warning: Mao sent his young party cadres to attack “anyone who could think — ruling elites such as Deng Xiaoping, college professors, engineers, writers and journalists, doctors, etc. He wanted to dumb down the entire population so that he could rule easily and forever,” the former official wrote. “Sounds a bit similar with what is going on in the U.S.?"

Sure does.

I was half-joking. I took my assumption of what science is, subtracted it by my assumption of what economics is and then divided it by 2 for lenience. I would urge you to take a deep breath and not retaliate.

We have this list circulating of things you should avoid or stop buying. Some of it is easy to leave out, but others are unfortunately difficult due to a lack of alternatives. Also, American items are placed upside down on supermarket shelves to make them easier to identify, since such items are not really labeled here.

Ok wondering now of a simple every day things that are US and will be tariffed in the UK. A simple avoid list if you like.

Lipton is on that list yet as far as I can tell isn’t American so I reckon there’s other errors.
Doesn’t really affect me as I drink Yorkshire Tea however targeting companies that aren’t American is counter productive.
Even if Lipton has very questionable history.
