Pommelhead, you're fixating on one insignificant part of the economy.  Take away all of the entire music industry, it wouldn't be a noticeable bump in the overall economy.  If you don't like how it's being done, then use your own native suppliers.

OH, wait.  Wasn't it a group, I think called the beatles, or beetles that made poor voices singing cheap ditties to poor accompaniment acceptable as long as they look weird?

However, take away one thing that originated on your side of the pond, called ISO certification, and you remove ten times as much waste from the economy and the one you're so in a tizzy about.  For those that don't know about ISO, it's a system that in effect says it's perfectly okay to produce and sell unworkable shit as long as that shit is well documented.  It doesn't set any quality standards, it only requires a highly paid "consultant" and has no teeth at all. 

Still laughing AT you and not with you.
