re Wellyboot.
Not a well chosen example, at all. Rather a good example of US , and globalised, perspectives.
With the connivance of "helpful" politicians and lawmakers, a localised authentic product is replaced with lowest common denominator, mass produced, processed crap made by a US megacorp. Not only substituting local produce, but removing any value from the local area, and usually paying little or no tax.
And people wonder Brexit gained a clear majority (52% v 48%) or the gilets jeunes take to the streets?
