    I’ll only buy from american companies or people that publicly condemn trump. I’ll support the people fighting against the mango Mussolini.

    I hope everyone that supported him lose everything. That’s what they voted for after all, they just expected it to be other people that would lose and not them.

    That's OK, we can easily buy from Europe instead. Ohh, wait a minute...

    You ain't going to get a 10% tariff buying from Europe even without being in the European union.I also suspect now they have 20% tariff with the yanks they might be more willing to do business.

    They've just advertised Reese Easter eggs. Can't think of anything more disgusting than that so will happily boycott those!

    If I wasn't scared of damaging my teeth that might be enough to ruin my boycott!

    I'm struggling to think of anything American that I buy, I've just checked the tag in my Levi's and they're not American made, my car is a Ford with a French engine and put together in Europe, my telly is a Samsung so I assume that's Welsh, I think I'm American free, goods wise.

    What do you buy that’s notionally American other than probably some tech/software?

    My iPhone and Mac are actually made in China, and I get e-mail and YouTube from Google for free.

    I'd be surprised if you didn't own summat imported from america.

    Many everyday items manufactured in the USA are imported to the UK, including electronics, fashion, beauty products, food items like candies and snacks, and even some home goods and fitness equipment.
    Here's a more detailed look at some common examples:
    Everyday Items:
    • Electronics and Gadgets:
    • Fashion and Apparel:
    • Beauty and Skincare Products:
    • Food and Snacks:
      • Candies and sweets (e.g., Hershey's)
      • Breakfast cereals and snacks (e.g., Kellogg's)
      • Ketchup, baked beans, and canned goods (e.g., Heinz)

    Also bear in mind lots of, in the main American owned companies have their products made in sweat shops in China. Eg Apple. Iphones etc. And transferring production elsewhere like India. Won't completely solve the issue.

    I do love Reese’s but I can do without them for 4 years. I’m so pleased we went to America last year as there’s no way I’m going whilst he’s in charge. To be fair, they probably wouldn’t let me in as I’ve not exactly been complimentary about him online.

    You'll have to stop using Google.

    I assume Ask Jeeves is run by the PG Wodehouse estate?

    Most of the food and snacks you mention have been made in Britain for a century or more, you can add Bird's-eye and Mars plus quite a few others.
