I do think that it isn't the job of local councils to preach about morality, when we live in a free market economy, and a lot of people do not have the luxury to be able to choose what they but. The cheapest is very often their main concern.
I have nothing against the Freetrade movement or it's aims, I just don't want to be preached to about it by my local council.

It is not the local council that is promoting this, it is Prospects Foundation who are an independent charity.
At no point did I say that people who couldn't afford it should buy the more expensive item - I was simply suggesting that if you could afford it then perhaps you could buy with your concience every now and then.
