try this thought experiment - P&O ferries, LDN Gateway, Southhampton Port etc owned by DP World.. Should UAE regulate the biz?

If P&O were doing something harmful, moreover something that counters UAE's foreign policy objectives, then yes - surely?

I'm not talking about what other, conservative governments might want to do. I'm asking what we can do.

AFAIK Fair & Lovely isn't banned in the UK - only products with dangerous/more potent ingredients

Sadiq Khan proposed a ban on fat-shaming adverts in the tube. Why not ban dark-skin shaming adverts and products?

yes good idea, but has to be local. Khan can't bans adverts on Newcastle Metro but he can be part of a movement of mayors...
