Just before we get too xenophobic and racist, we should remember that, with the exception of a notable few, it is not the Pakistanis who are selling to us. Quite often it is our own people, our own countrymen, who source their goods worldwide.

If they don't buy it in China, then they buy it in Pakistan.

Then they sell it to us.

And then we buy it.

Hopefully, it is like our first cars. We bought any old rubbish, just to have wheels. Or just to have a hair sporran; or just to have a PC; or just to have coloured hose. In time we will buy a better car or a better sporran, a better jacket or better hose.

But for now, we should look at the people selling, not the people making.
