Fundamentally, if there were UK manufacturers who were able to produce the amount that the Chinese could for the money that organisations like Rapha et al are prepared to pay, then it would all be made in the UK.

I'm not even arguing for resurrecting the UK manufacturing industry. Even if I wanted to do that (I don't) I'd recognise that it was never going to happen.

I'm just pointing out that responding 'lol you is racist' when someone questions where something is made is massively simplistic.

You can't call out someone for being simplistic while being incredibly simplistic yourself.

As if the country of manufacture is indicative of where the profits end up... Wearing something made in UK is no indicator of supporting a domestic economy. It's just bullshit nonsense.
