Yes, we seem to strongly regulate what we make here in Britain (adding considerable costs to the production process) yet quite happy to turn a blind eye to dangerous products being brought in that are often manufactured in very poor or non-existent H&S circumstances, great endangering workers, and allowing those companies to cut corners, save money and sell cheap all around the world. The list of what we are doing to shoot ourselves in the foot and simultaneously promulgate danger to foreign workers couldn't be much longer if we tried.
