Food is so cheap and varies so much that attempting to apply a tariff charge to, say, English Tea, is almost unmeasreable on an individual level. But that won't stop Liebermann.

    John, you're not much of an economist.  Great Britain was called that because they were busy conquering every other country in the world. Even in the new world colonies they had 10,000 british troops stationed and aside from the tax on tea which was nothing more than the final straw, they were forcing the colonists to house and feed these troops. People that talk about history as if they understand it when they read a kindergarten book about it should learn actual facts.
 When I said that I read out 3 libraries of all of their non-fiction did you think that books written about the revolution written in 1850 weren't closer to the facts? Perhaps you should stick with the CNN version.

The major isle was Brittania to the Roman occupiers, a collection of kingdoms after that, England after Canute, Great Britain from the Scots Union (1707), United Kingdom with Irish incorporation (1808). The gargantuan well managed Empire is more correctly that of UK than of GB.
Over here we don't much distinguish (England, Britain, GB and UK) although we probably ought to.
