As a fellow Brit I sympathise tremendously. If I may, I would recommend a book called the ominous parralells by Leonard peikoff.

The issue here is voluntary vs non voluntary. To force goodness is a contradiction. I wish to trade with who ever I want (within morality) and I do not wish to support people who I deem as undeserving.
