<para xml:id="p1">I've been boycotting Mal☆Wart for years, ever since
they petitioned the town of Northampton to pay less than the minimum
wage. With one unfortunate exception, I've never bought a thing from
them (well, directly anyway, I have no real idea what else they own).</para>

      <firstname>Simon</firstname>
<surname>Phipps</surname>
    </personname>' pointer to 
<link xlink:href="http://www.buyblue.org/">Buy Blue</link> has given
me something else to keep an eye on. I'm perfectly happy not to give
my money the corporate [expletive deleted, ed.] funding this
administration.</para>
