  The whole point is that the domestic manufacturer would have to compete with overseas imports and with the high taxes, red tape and higher wages here the import will be cheaper so the UK manufacturer will go bust.
  
  Try to stop the imports and you will be in breach of trade agreements, action gets taken against our exports, UK inflation goes up because of high import costs and expensive home manufactured products so businesses go bust and people lose their jobs....
  
  The whole point is that we have a global market, we are a trading nation and must trade to survive. We must therefore make sure that our businesses can compete that we do not load them with too much red tape, too high taxes and other costs so they can get out an win business where we can. If we cannot produce microwaves competitively in the UK, then we import them and make other things or provide other services that we can export profitably.
  
  This is how the world works and we must work with it to prosper.
