Well I'm generally not a fan of people who preach, I'll listen to what they have to say and make my own mind up.
Primark sales rose by 19 per cent in the 16 weeks to 2 January.But amid bumper warm clothes sales in the chilly weather, Primark garment workers remain frozen out of its success, the charity War on Want claims.
It said people making Primark clothes overseas struggled to survive on poverty pay.
Last month the charity's research showed that workers toiled up to 84 hours a week and earned as little as £19 a month - less than half a living wage - making Primark clothes in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka.
And its report on three Primark factories in the same city just over a year ago revealed workers earning as little as 7p an hour for up to 80-hour weeks.
Majority of people don't care because it doesn't affect them and it does annoy me but I can't stop people buying the clothes..
"the shop just encompasses "replaceable one-use" society" you have a point but then again I think clothes are one thing that you're never going to get reduced in terms of people buying.. We still live in a society where alot of people don't use charity shops because they're not in fashion and not new...
How come?
