I've said it before, and I'll say it again... Greenland hunts whale, and Greenland belongs to Denmark. Yep, they're next with their succulent gammon steaks, big salami style sausages (I think Asda's pepperoni is from Denmark) and let's not forget the biggie - Carlsberg! Which by the way merged with Norwegian brewery giant Orkla in 2001. There's another one for your list OP!0 -
Bacon, beer, pepperoni, amazing seafood, brilliant chocolate, the nicest people you could hope to meet - these are truly God's own countries.

I understand that Eskimos and other peoples with a history of whale hunting are still allowed by the International Whaling Commission to continue whaling.
Eskimo's live in Canada, USA(Alaska), Russia(Siberia) Greenland. You can also include people from Tonga and Bequia(a Caribbean island)(in case of confusion the latter are not Eskimos!!)
So OP. If you wish to give us some intelligent observations and recommendations, would you care to give us reasons why we should not include USA, Canada, Russia, Greenland, Tonga & Bequia in the list of countries to boycott.0 -

As this thread is a duplicate thread, my duplicate post will not be out of place:

Are the Finnish not implicated in this? They're very close to all of these countries. They *must* be up to something.

If the Finns are in on this, then out goes Finlandia vodka. And if the Swedes are in on it too just for being next to Norway (alsthough some brits believe that Norway is the capital of Sweden) then Absolut is also out of the shopping basket. And Ikea. And Sven - oh, he's already gone. Ulrika Johnsson too! And Tord Grip was from where again?0
-
The OP has already decided that Ikea are part of this being, as they are, somewhere in that direction, bit further on and up from Dover.
I wish I'd given more thought to my Finland comment. That's my holiday out of the window too!
