That's another fashion brand to add to the long list of exploitation and slavery wow

Boohoo have been sending stuff obviously worn and sent out with stains on for years.

About a year ago I ordered a top off them and it had make up all on the inside and neckline, I sent it back and they sent me a new one and a voucher, I posted about it on facebook and loads of girls had found the same, one girl I went to college with bough shoes with dried blood on the heels she said :umm2:

Eww That's horrible :umm2: , I've never shopped with boohoo so I was unaware of their reputation .

to these terrible factorys

Well well

Not only that, but resources have been stripped away from local councils for over a decade now, so this is another consequence of voting for people that don't believe in governing.

How can that be mounted as a defence if it’s an open secret?

It's been allowed to continue for the same reason that young white girls were raped and abused by Pakistani men for years. No one wants to appear racist.

It's not a defence because the government refused to act. I don't need to defend anyone on this matter; lawyers have been pressing BEIS and HMRC for over 2 years.

Young girls of all ethnicities have been raped by men of all ethnicities for human history, so it's quite a stretch to suggest that the real issue is no one wanting to appear racist, especially in today's world where people happily wear their bigotry like a badge of honour.

It's also a stretch to suggest this a problem only within predominantly Asian communities, look at the explosion in 'agencies' that hire temp to work in warehouses, construction and farms. This too is modern day slavery that we close a blind eye to and swallow the ' British' people are too lazy to work these jobs'.
It's happening in many sectors not only is industry being outsourced but labour too, Id be surprised if any of those people in that sweatshop were British citizens.
They are being exploited because they are allowed to, the only reason it was exposed was due to covid, otherwise that wouldn't even have warranted investigation.

I don't agree that accusations of racism were the reason for the lack of scrutiny, in the same way I don't believe children in care homes weren't protected from certain groups, they were not a priority. I've heard the ' community cohesion' argument and I just don't buy it.

All groups black, white, rich and poor exploit if they can and for years many people have been allowed to exploit with impunity, in Labour, Lib dem and conservative run councils.

Do I think it's getting better? No, in fact I'd say it's getting worse. Look at the seasonal workers flown in on private charter planes to pick fruit and veg, are they getting a fair wage, PPE, adequate accomodation?... but this has been rationalised as they are 'skilled' workers, which of course is bull, they are slaves.. as in days of yore wealthy landowners are cashing in devoid of any contractual obligations.

Look also at the construction industry, the tory donating sweethearts..how riddled with exploitation is that? Anyone remember ' blacklisting'? Anyone attempting to organise workers movements or complain about health and safety found themselves unemployable.

In short, I'm not surprised by this it's always happened and unless there is real and independent regulation it always will.

And what about all the... blatant racism?
