fair trade in UK?

Been meaning to blog this for about three days .... I was tending to buy British goods if there were no fair trade ones available on the basis that with our employment legislation, it should be reasonably fair. This article [well, leader, actually] from the Guardian has made me think again. It may be time to search out the farmers markets. I wonder if there's a fair trade campaign for British goods? The issues seesm to be to put pressure on the major food retailers -but I'm wondering how we can best go about that ... answers on a postcard ...
