Stand up to the bully - buy British!

I am not blissfully unaware at all, ronib and won't respond further to your rude post.

You obviously have no idea what I said.

Okay by me Allira

Not sure what the lower age limit will be, as changing the rules for child employment is still under discussion, but with the standards of ethics demonstrated so far in this Presidency, I don't think much will surprise me.

Can't remember if I said on this thread, but apparently lots of countries are setting up informal links and lists for dealing with the Tantrum Tariffs.

Been googling:

Currently it stands at 14 in general

but if its a family business

"Can a 12 year old child work?
12-year-old children are allowed to work for their parents on the condition that their parents are the sole owners of the business they are working for. They can work at any time of day and for any number of hours, according to federal family business child labor laws. State laws vary -- check your local regulations."

Maybe they are referring to 14 year olds working more?

I would buy everything British if the prices were lower than everyone else. It seems daft that something grown on our own turf is double the price of goods imported. Visit a farm shop and see the difference. It's such a shame. X

Wyllow and Maremia, I understand that the plans for a revision (!) of child labour laws proposes a potential for 14 year old children to work night shifts.
Presumably, this allows them to attend school in the day, avoiding any criticism of such children's education suffering...
The mill owners of the Victorian era are their labour employer model, perhaps.

I, certainly, shall be trying harder to avoid buying from the U.S. - can't stand his smug orange face! Can't remember when I last visited MacDonalds, Starbucks, or bought Coke or Pepsi. I'm not interested in owning aa Tesla.
For your interest, do you know what trump is slang for?Literally, a trump is either a playing card with an arbitrary high rank, or a loud blast on a wind-instrument: hence “trumpet”. So in British slang a trump is the sort of fart that makes a loud noise, like a squeaky flute.

A perfect description of him then - a loud fart!
