I'll do as Pret does, and boycott Pret!

Via Samizdata, it seems Pret a Manger has a pretty unpleasant agenda.

Pret appears to believe in a crude form of protrectionism: Wherever possible we buy British. Pret thus believes in keeping wealth in the hands of those already wealthy.

It's through trade and prosperity that the poor escape poverty. Pret wants to shut that door and keep the poor in their place.
