I'm not sure where he's going with the argument, but he appears to be advocating that we support a manufacturer of high-end, unaffordable luxury goods owned by a multinational company with an 'abysmally low score ' on forced labour and worker exploitation. And that is, presumably, his idea of a Brexit success.
No, you’ve not understood this thread properly at all. The point is that the world is way too complicated to just break things down as either a “benefit” or a “harm”. Most things are both at the same time. A chocolate bar benefits me now but harms me in the long run. The choice to order two pairs of shoes from Italy and send the pair I don’t want back benefits my ability to improve my wardrobe and benefits the shoemaker’s profit and loss but harms the environment and local shoemakers. Leaving trading systems intact benefits the population’s ability to maintain their immediate standard of living but may harm their ability to disrupt the future system in their favour. It’s not simple.
Them's that voted for the pandemic are idiots (ignore them basically)
Buy British not expensive trainers from abroad. Grensons do good ones for less than a hundred quid. Plus their shoes are often a similar price. Simples. Globalisation is not a good thing. Perhaps you disagree and support it? I don’t expect an answer btw. Just abuse an a simpleton meme.
I think you need to ask yourself that question, seeing as you were very recently recommending that poor people should somehow find the money to invest in expensive shoes from a company owned by a vast multinational luxury brand empire with an 'abysmally low score' on forced labour and worker exploitation.
I but British made shoes that last and provide jobs here. What do you do?
It's great that you can afford to buy such expensive shoes, but if you're going to try and claim some kind of moral high ground here, you need to question whether you should be supporting a business owned by a luxury global brand with a horrendous record on forced labour and worker exploitation.
Oh I prefer actions rather than words, so I'd say this site represents what I do: something that hopefully provides support and community, and comes completely free of advertising, sponsorships (luxury brands or otherwise) and is absolutely free and accessible to all. Same applies to my other site, which also manages to raise a fair bit of money for local charities every year.
What do you wear on your feet and what influences your choice?
This is getting a bit weird and personal again, so I'm out.
You discussed at length your tech choices and some of them are very expensive. Why not just say what your shoe choices are?
Or you can just stop the needless - and more recently - completely ignorant and spiteful personal attacks on my life and my work.
You just come across as a relentless hypocrite to be fair. I won’t respond to your posts again.
And there you go again with the unpleasant personal attacks. What's the matter with you?
I wonder what France will ban in the tit-for-tat. I reckon it'll be Cheddar.

Thats pretty incredible if true and not just as statistical mirage
