    Keep buying American products so that British companies have to up their game and make better products.

    [FONT=&quot]Well, I understand this forum is money saving expert forum. So the main intention is to save people money and not politics. So, saving people own money should come first. Politics might be second or even the last one.

    [FONT=&quot]I bought this this 8TB External HDD with Hub from Amazon US. [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HD6ZLQ6[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Moreover Seagate is also a US product. I bought Seagate (US product) and from Amazon US (not UK or EU) because I could not find any cheaper than this which could serve my needs.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]Now I will need to get another 8TB External HDD. Could you find me alternative / substitute non-US product with the same or cheaper price. Not from Amazon US (e.g. In EU from instance?). If you could find a cheaper one I will be more than happy to buy it from them from UK or other countries.[/FONT]

    [FONT=&quot]As suggested your campaign might be more suitable if you wrote your own petition on Change.org.[/FONT]

    Do not use windows OS, use the one with lesser US influence such as Ubuntu, linux for your operating system.
    Do not buy Apple
    Do not use MS office, use open office,
    Do not use google
    Do not use Skype
    Do not use facebook
    Do not use Booking.com
    Do not use Whatsup.
    etc etc
    Meeh not for me then as I will keep buying and using these products.
    All of those companies are based in states that did not vote for Trump and where he has a low approval rating. So the OP wants to punish all Americans by indiscriminately punishing those that didn't vote for and who disapprove of their President.

    That's the trouble with a scatter gun approach. The main culprit walks away scott free whilst the innocents get hurt.

    If you really want to hurt Trump, don't stay at his hotels.

    We need to show the bully who currently runs America that we can make rules by NOT buying American products.
    We need backbone to bring him and America to to it's knees. Tell your friends and family to check what they buy and where possible not buy American products.


    What about American media ? Are we not allowed to watch US films and TV series either ?


    Good luck with that

    I'm truly shocked at people's attitude and lack of backbone when it comes to American products and the current problems being caused by the U.S.A.
    This is your opportunity to buy British and support your own country, just remember today it's someone else tomorrow it could be you.
    Stand up for what's right.
    To the people who criticise me, would you want someone to fight for you when you were wronged?
