Primark - Still Bovvered?

Remember the sweat shops? Let this BBC video remind you... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7824291.stm http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7824787.stm

Or the profits?

Ethics for evaluation

So in 2008 and early 2009 the press was castigating Primark for the way it its suppliers treated their workers. By late 2009 and early 2010, it seems that these issues are less important, or is it that Primark customers were never that bothered.

It's a recession, can we afford to be bothered?
