It’s unbelievable that unscrupulous employers can get away with paying their poor mainly immigrant staff below the minimum wage, force them to come to work even after they’ve tested positive telling them they are not to tell their colleagues and board up factory windows so passers by can’t see the factory is open.

Surely massive fines and imprisonment for the owners should be considered?

@GrumpyHoonMain sorry, i lived in that area for years. There are many many people who dont speak english. They dont need to. Worse case scenario they get their kids to translate. Its like a ghetto there.

No, I don't buy fast fashion.

As I said earlier, it isn’t only the low cost retailers who use sweatshops.

Yes, this is what I usually respond with when people congratulate themselves for having toppled a statue.

If that’s your entire contribution, you’re doing about as much as they are.

It’s in the Tines again today!

I'd like to know if a well known clothing retailer with very popular sales uses these factories given that their head office is in the area.

If you mean Next, l don’t think they do.

Clothes are shite though.

Oh, Minty, the next sentence, the next sentence.
